Emily Hodkinson

Emily is a mezzo-soprano hailing from Nottingham.

A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Alexander Gibson Opera School and the University of York; she was a 2022 Opera Holland Park Young Artist, singing Madame Larina in Eugene Onegin; and winner of the Rodney Gibson Early Music Prize at the 2021 Patricia Routledge National English Song Competition. In 2023 she shall join the chorus at Glyndebourne for their summer season, cover the roles of Nerone and Ottavia in The Coronation of Poppea for English Touring Opera, and perform Mahler 4 with Kew Sinfonia. With a voice described as ‘silvery, mellifluous and warm’, Emily is forging a path as a dynamic and exciting young operatic mezzo-soprano.

When not singing, Emily can be found repairing watches and helping at the family pick-your-own farm, growing thousands of pumpkins and sunflowers!
