Francis Greep

Head of Young Artists

Francis Greep is Head of Young Artists at Opera Australia, the country’s largest performing arts organisation. A vocal coach of international standing, he is recognised for his expert preparation of singers across a range of classical styles, underpinned by deep knowledge of repertoire, vocal technique, idiomatic language, and performance psychology. Highly sought after as a coach, recitalist, chorus master, and conductor, he has toured extensively as a collaborative pianist, adjudicated major singing competitions, and nurtured the careers of many of Australia’s finest artists.

He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne, where his ground-breaking, self-reflective study on the role of the vocal coach in developing emerging singers was described as “a significant contribution to scholarship.”

In addition to his operatic and academic work, Francis has built a distinguished career as an arts administrator. He is widely regarded for his collaborative leadership style and a proven track record in organisational strategy, innovation, and renewal.
