Angela Hicks

Angela has established herself as an early music specialist, with a love for folk, medieval, renaissance and baroque.

In 2019, she made her operatic debut in La Scala, conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, singing Cupid in Handel’s Semele. Other roles include Alcina in Caccini’s La Liberazione di Ruggiero, La Statue in Rameau’s Pygmalion (both Brighton Early Music Festival), and Hébé and Phani in Ensemble Orquesta’s Rameau, Les Indes Galantes. It has been noted that her performance of early opera stands out, because she is so informed and inspired by the music from centuries before.

Angela has sung with many leading UK ensembles including The Monteverdi Choir, Ex Cathedra, Tenebrae, the King’s Consort, and the Academy of Ancient Music. It has also led her to the ‘Big Screen’ where she can be seen singing Purcell’s ‘Musick for a while’ in the film ‘The Favourite’, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, alongside Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.
