Laura's humour, passion, curiosity and all-encompassing love of her art form sweep the audience along. I am so delighted to have named Laura as my final Opera Talent of the Year — you'll find her in several places at the 2026 edition of the Copenhagen Opera Festival, so don't hesitate to join us to experience this extraordinary artist.” - Artistic Director, Amy Lane
