Chloë Pardoe, a talented mezzo-soprano, received her training at the Wales International Academy of Voice under the esteemed guidance of Dennis O'Neill, with generous support from the Dennis O'Neill Foundation. As an Iford Arts (now known as If Opera) Young Artist, Chloë's promising career in opera took flight, leading her to collaborate with many of the UK-based opera companies. Chloë continues her training under the guidance of John Evans.
Recently, Chloë sang 2nd Woman in Mozart's "The Magic Flute" as part of the Opera Anywhere tour. Her previous roles include performing as the 3rd Woman in "Margot la Rouge" with Opera Holland Park and singing as Woodpecker in Janacek's "The Cunning Little Vixen" during their preceding season. Chloë participated in Random Opera Company's lockdown project, singing the role of La Suora Infermiera in Puccini's "Suor Angelica."
Chloë's operatic repertoire extends to roles such as Ida in J. Strauss's "Die Fledermaus" with Iford Arts, Sesto in Handel's "Giulio Cesare" with Cardiff Opera, and La Ciesca in Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi" for a private event. Additionally, she portrayed L'Enfant in Ravel's "L'Enfant et les Sortilèges" at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Hänsel in Humperdinck's "Hänsel und Gretel" with Leamington Sinfonia, and Dido in Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" with Leamington Choral Society.
Chloë's is highly sought after as a recitalist and concert artist. She was a Leeds Lieder Young Artist and a Song Easel Young Artist. Noteworthy performances include covering Diana Moore in Elgar's "Sea Pictures" at Snape Maltings and singing Beethoven's 9th Symphony with Ludlow Orchestra, Vivaldi's "Gloria" and Saint-Saëns' "Oratorio de Noël" with Oxford Harmonic at the Sheldonian Theatre, and Haydn's Paukenmesse and Beethoven's Mass in C with Stratford Upon Avon Choral Society.
Passionate about opera outreach, Chloë actively collaborates with Welsh National Opera and Opera Holland Park's Inspire program, aiming to inspire and engage diverse audiences.
Chloë looks forward to joining Longborough Festival this summer for their production of La Boheme.
