Madeleine is a London-based director working in opera and theatre, using the power of music and drama to tell stories that speak directly to our present moment. She recently directed the premiere of The Quest with London Youth Opera, nominated for an Ivors Classical Award 2025. She was resident director for Robert Icke's The Doctor for its tour and West End run and was a semi-finalist of the European Opera Directing Prize 2023.

 

She works regularly as a staff director at the Royal Ballet and Opera, English National Opera and Glyndebourne Festival Opera - assisting directors including Richard Jones, Annilese Miskimmon and Olivia Fuchs. She is an associate director with the Lewisham Creative Chorus in her local London borough and believes that opera should be available to all - not an elite few.
