North Wales Opera Studio: Eve Callahan (soprano) & Ross Craigmile (piano)

Belgian soprano Eve Marie is an emerging lyric soprano recognised for her warm lyrical tone and expressive stage presence in both operatic and concert repertoire.

Her early musical life began in the children’s chorus of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, where she appeared in several productions after making her stage debut as Young Cosette in Les Misérables. This formative experience established a lasting connection to the operatic stage.

Recent operatic engagements include Zerlina in Don Giovanni with North Wales Opera, alongside appearances in productions of Tosca, Cavalleria Rusticana, Pagliacci, and Carmen. In the 2026 season she appears as Countess Ceprano in Rigoletto and is scheduled to perform the role of Kate Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly.

Her recent stage work has also included scenes as Pamina in The Magic Flute, Countess Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro, and Maria in West Side Story. She has also appeared at the Netherlands Lyric Opera Festival in scenes from Così fan tutte and Gianni Schicchi.

As a concert soloist she has performed widely across the UK, including appearances with the North Wales Orchestra and NEW Sinfonia at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod and the North Wales International Music Festival. Her concert repertoire includes works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, George Frideric Handel, Vincenzo Bellini, Gabriel Fauré, Giacomo Puccini and Franz Schubert.
Eve Marie received her musical education at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, where she participated in recordings including The Creation with the Gabrieli Consort. She was a Young Artist with the OperUs Young Artist Academy in Trieste and is currently continuing her professional studies towards the FRSM diploma.

Now based in North Wales, Eve Marie performs regularly in opera productions and concert series throughout the UK and Europe.
