Emily Hodkinson | Mezzo-Soprano
Emily Hodkinson
Mezzo-Soprano
"It is amazing what difference a wig and cap can make. Having met Emily Hodkinson at a Young Artists event earlier in the year I was very struck by how different her Madame Larina was from the real Emily. This Larina was very poised and centred, cool almost and she had a Jane Austen-esque sense of floating through life unaware of the little dramas eddying round her."
Eugene Onegin, Opera Holland Park (Young Artist)
