This much I know: Celine Byrne

I saw opera live for the first time at La Scala, when I was taking a year out after school to work as an au pair in Milan.

I really only considered it as a profession when I was studying music in college, though it was secretly a dream to be an opera singer.

I’m very grateful for my talent and once I started working professionally as a classical singer I set goals for myself, one of which was to perform in Covent Garden. I’ve still a few more to realise so with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck I’ll get through my list!
