Keara

Donohoe

Mezzo Soprano

Originally from the Blue Mountains, Keara graduated with a Bachelor of Music Studies from The Sydney Conservatorium of Music, studying voice under Jane Edwards.

Keara has sung roles and ensemble with Opera Australia since 2010, and has been a proud member of Opera Australia’s permanent chorus since 2018.

Keara was part of Barrie Kosky’s Saul for Adelaide Festival in 2017. Roles include Meg Page (The Merry Wives of Windsor), Cherubino (The Marriage of Figaro), and Flora (La Traviata) with Sydney group Opera Bites.

In concert halls, Keara performs widely in and around Sydney. She was soloist for Elgar’s Sea Pictures with Blue Mountains Symphony Orchestra, alto soloist for Handel’s Messiah with Central Coast Chorale and Newcastle University Choir, and has been a returning soloist for Sydney University Grad Choir, performing Hasse, Gossec and Nicolai.

With an interest in new works, Keara has been involved in numerous development productions, workshops and premiers, including Gavin Lockley and Colleen McCullough’s Morgan’s Run, Chloe Charody’s The Carnival: A Circus Opera, and George Palmer’s Cloudstreet. Keara sang as a part of the Telling Tales exhibit at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Lee Ming Wei’s Sonic Blossom.

A versatile performer; when not on the concert platform or in the opera house, Keara enjoys singing Music Theatre and Jazz, notably as part of vocalese jazz trio Midnight Avenue.

For Pinchgut Opera, Keara has performed in the chorus of Iphigénie en Tauride and Theodora, as well as soloist for Pinchgut Opera’s Women of The Pieta concert. She was also proud to feature in Pinchgut’s 2020 film A Delicate Fire.
