Helen Medlyn has a prodigious, rich, velvety type voice that makes the act of listening an absolute delight. Her clear and sonorous vocal timbre fits perfectly into any fictional or non-fictional piece of content. An immensely experienced performer, Helen is a pleasure to work and collaborate with.
Summary
Helen Medlyn is a self-described Jill Of All Trades, having been a jazz chanteuse, a dancer, an actress, a musical theatre performer, a narrator, a comedienne, a classical concert singer, a voice-over artiste, an opera diva and a cabaret entertainer...sometimes, all in the same performance.
Using her innate sense of fun, her musicality and her love of language she’s been acclaimed both here and overseas for stamping her own style on all that she does.
A few highlights from her immense body of work includes playing Prince Orlovsky in ‘Fledermaus’ for Opera Australia, portraying Concepcion in ‘The Spanish Hour’ for NBR NZ Opera, understudying Brangaene in ‘Tristan and Isolde’ for the English National Opera, performing Gillian Whitehead’s vocal cantata "Alice" with the Auckland Philharmonia (written for Helen), singing Elgar’s ‘Sea Pictures’ with the NZSO in Osaka; singing Brahms’s ‘Alto Rhapsody’ with the London Philharmonic Choir and the Malaysian Philharmonic in Kuala Lumpur, performing Mahler’s ‘Song of the Earth’ both with the AP and the NZSO, taking the role of Joy Gresham in the play "Shadowlands" at the Mercury Theatre, portraying Mrs Parker in the play ‘Daughters of Heaven’ for the Auckland Theatre Company, playing Fraülein Schneider in ‘Cabaret’ for the ATC, and creating and performing her ’hell’ cabaret shows with Penny Dodd.
Although Helen embarked on her professional career in 1981 as a dancer in the NZ tour of ‘Evita’, her performance work remained sporadic. Through the 80’s, she took major roles in productions for the Mercury Theatre, Centrepoint Theatre and Auckland operatic societies but she still retained her day job. However, in 1989, she walked away from being a television and radio producer at the advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi, and launched herself into a full-time professional performing career with her opera debut as Marthe in the Mercury Theatre’s production of "Faust". Honoured with being made an Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate in 2002, Helen is now established as a regular guest artist with opera companies and orchestras throughout Australasia, Asia, America and Britain and continues to garner flattering critical acclaim for her distinctive performances.
