Having studied music at King’s College,
Cambridge, Madeleine received an M.Phil

Bursary), performing excerpts from
Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress. In
February 2007 Madeleine conducted Die
Fledermaus with Alternative Opera in
Tunbridge Wells. The production was
reviewed by Antony Craig for Gramophone,
who wrote: “Madeleine Lovell ... marshalled
all her forces with skill and finesse.”
In September Madeleine conducted a
