Jersey born Georgia Mae Bishop is mezzo-soprano currently based in Brighton. Praised by Opera Magazine as ‘a performer with a strong vocal personality and stage presence’, Georgia is gaining recognition for her genre smashing interdisciplinary approach to her performing, writing and creative facilitation practise.
In the 2025/26 season, Georgia’s engagements included Third Lady in The Magic Flute with West Green House Opera, she premiered From Mumsnet with Love and led workshops with Birmingham Opera Company’s production of RE-WIRE, and was the singer for Garsington’s Opera First workshops of Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse.

Georgia’s passion for story telling has seen her creative practice expand into writing and facilitating others in the creation of new musical/theatrical works alongside performing. She was creative director, librettist and performed in Held in the Tide/Tints dans la Mathée, a new co-created opera (music by Charlotte Marlow) commissioned by ArtHouse Jersey for performances at the Jersey Opera House, her scripted cabaret show Witches, Britches and B*tches received rave reviews at Brighton Fringe, and she also took up residency with composer Charlotte Marlow in Anita’s Room in Brighton Dome, developing their co-creative practice through collaborative story telling in the North Laine.

She was the winner of the inaugural Mastersingers Wagner Vocal Competition, an Emerging Artist on the Institute of Young Dramatic Voices, and an Opera Awards Bursary recipient.
