Soprano Monica McGhee claims that her cancer journey has given her performance more depth.
A Scottish opera star and thyroid cancer surviver has teamed up with two other survivors to compose a song highlighting NHS wait times.
She underwent surgery on her neck, facing a long recovery and permanent loss of some of her vocal range. “I had lots of auditions coming up and I was in the finals for young artists at European opera houses.” Ms McGhee, who is now cancer-free and is preparing to make her English National Opera principal debut early next year, says she hopes their song gives hope to people undergoing cancer treatment.
