Lyric-dramatic soprano Marrianne Town Smith started to sing in 2007 as a hobby and distraction from a fast-paced marketing management role.  In 2015 she successfully auditioned for a Postgraduate Vocal Studies Programme at Trinity Laban and graduated with distinction in 2017.
 
In late 2021 struggling to secure any auditions and wanting to perform, Marrianne established Uncovered Opera Company to bring herself and other emerging artists performance opportunities.  To date she has produced four Operatic productions, an opera gala and over 10 lunchtime recitals.
