Grace Roberts (2014 cohort) has been awarded the Tanglin Alumni of the Year Award for Excellence in the Arts.
Grace trained at the Royal Academy of Music and is currently leading the World Tour of The Phantom of The Opera as Christine.
Grace has appeared in a concert version of Les Misérables, alongside Ramin Karimloo, directed by Paul Morrissey, and she played The Young Wife in Hello Again at The Union Theatre. She was the recipient of the Emerging Talent Award from the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music in 2018’s Lotte Lenya Competition.
Her credits whilst training include Dolores Dante/Terry Mason in Working; Cosette in This is the Hour concert; Is there Life After High School?; Letters From Home; as well as Hard Times, a workshop directed by John Caird.
Further theatre credits include Charity Hope Valentine in Sweet Charity and Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance at UCLU; The Sound of Music (International Tour); Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors (Tanglin Trust School); Broadway Meets Opera concert (Intune Music); and The Real Thing (The Stage Club).
Grace and her sister attended Tanglin, and we look forward to seeing her performance at Marina Bay Sands when she tours Singapore in May 2025.
During my time there, Tanglin always fostered my love for the arts with its immense support and excellent facilities. Winning this award feels like the culmination of years of hard work in the industry - after all, it took me a long time to get here and it's certainly not an easy business.
Although success is its own reward when it comes to this career, I feel so touched to have been recognised by the place where it all began. I'm so incredibly grateful to my wonderful teachers and ever-supportive family for making me believe that I could do it.
