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)

About
Emily is a mezzo-soprano hailing from Nottingham.
A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Alexander Gibson Opera School and the Univeristy of York, she was a 2022 Opera Holland Park Young Artist, and winner of the Rodney Gibson Early Music Prize at the 2021 Patricia Routledge National English Song Competition. In 2023 she shall premiere Nobody/Somebody with Northern Ireland Opera, join the chorus at Glyndebourne for their summer season, and cover the roles of Nerone and Ottavia in The Coronation of Poppea with English Touring Opera.
With a voice described as 'silvery, mellifluous and warm', Emily is forging a path as a dynamic and exciting young operatic mezzo-soprano. She is excited to have recently joined the artist roster at Musichall Ltd.
When not singing, Emily can be found repairing watches and helping at the family pick-your-own farm, growing thousands of pumpkins and sunflowers!
