Marika is a classically trained lyricspinto soprano, whose varied career and vocal flexibility combines not only operatic and classical works, but also turns her hand to jazz, musical theatre and contemporary pieces, to accommodate weddings, civil ceremonies, corporate / private events and other social occasions, as well as staged opera's.

Having performed with companies such as Kentish Opera, Opera on the Run, Operatique, London Operaworks & City Opera, Marika’s considerable concert experience has led her to perform at venues such as The Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Barbican Centre, Southwark Cathedral, Birmingham Symphony Hall, has participated in the Brighton Festival, Howden and Langen Festivals (Frankfurt).

Marika is also an experienced recording artist, having recorded material at Abbey Road Studio’s, Air Studio’s, Eastcote Studio's, QVC recording studio’s and the Whitfield Street Studio, featuring in films such as: King Kong, War of the Worlds, The Da Vinci Code, Spider-man 3, The Fantastic Four, The Island & Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire & also features on the original west-end cast recording of Cameron Macintosh’s production, Mary Poppins.

Being self contained with her own back track's, Marika performs as part of the in-house opera singers at Harrods, Knightsbridge and for Charity Events with organisations such as Marie Curie Cancer Care. Her outgoing personality and quick sense of humour, makes what may otherwise appear foreign and elitist, accessible to all.

REVIEWS:

"The Anna Bolena of Marika Rauscher was poised and regal throughout the opera. The conflicting emotions that were gradually tearing her apart inside did not even ripple the surface of her composure. Indeed, when she finally snapped in the so-called Mad Scene in Act Two, it was genuinely shocking, her face (lit-up like a child’s) made her insanity believable. Marika is an accomplished singer who has very good control of her voice and can sing a fine pianissimo, very suitable for this repertoire".

TESTIMONIALS:

"We wanted to say a really massive thank you for such an amazing performance during the service. Everyone has commented on how beautiful it was hearing you sing. You exceeded my expectations, in fact, I have goosebumps right now just thinking about the songs sung - especially the 'Ave Maria' (my dad couldnt stop crying!) - I dont think there was a goose that wasn't bumped on the day".
