Our Soloist - Hannah Bennett
Hannah Bennett is a mezzo-soprano from Luton, currently studying at the Royal Academy of Music on the Preparatory Opera Course with Yvonne Howard and Matthew Fletcher. Previously, Hannah studied at the RAM with Kathleen Livingstone and Audrey Hyland, graduating with a First Class Honours degree.
On the stage, recent roles include: Flora in Jonathan Dove's The Enchanted PIg ( Hampstead Garden Opera), Sesto in Handel's Julius Caesar (King’s Opera) and Tisbe in Rossini’s La Cenerentola ( London Young Sinfonia). During her studies, projects have included: Bridesmaids Chorus for Weber’s Der Freischütz ( Orchestra Age of Enlightenment/Mark Elder), Berio’s Folk Songs for mezzo soprano and seven instruments and British Youth Opera's 2015 Summer Season.
At the Academy, she is a soloist and regular chorus member for the RAM/ Kohn Foundation Bach Cantatas Series. Elsewhere, oratorio highlights include works by Mozart, Rossini, Saint-Saens, Bach, Handel and Vivaldi which have taken her to venues in London, such as St John’s Smith Square, and further afield. Hannah is fortunate to be supported by the Josephine Baker Trust. Future engagements include Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle and Tippett's A Child of Our Time.
As a keen recitalist, she has performed at the Oxford Lieder Festival, the Amersham Music Festival and was a 2017 Somerset Song Prize semi-finalist. She is also a member of the prestigious Song Circle at the RAM.
Hannah is a Nan Copeland Scholar at the RAM and is thankful to be supported by the Rotary Youth Trust for Luton, The Mario Lanza Education Foundation and The Split Infinitive Trust.
