Emily Hodkinson | Mezzo-Soprano
Reviews
"Emily Hodkinson was tall, gawky and irresistible as Cherubino, giving the hormonal teenager’s two arias impressive urgency." - Cherubino, Le nozze di Figaro, Saffron Opera Group
Opera Magazine (April 2024)
"Emily Hodkinson steps out of the committed eight voice chorus to provide a memorable cameo as that rare thing, a politician with a conscience." - Female Politician, Nobody/Somebody, Northern Ireland Opera
Opera Magazine (April 2023)
"Emily Hodkinson's warmly sung, affectionate Nancy was a life-force, constantly encouraging Albert, enjoying her liasons with Sid, while suggesting that if she couldn't tame her Tedd-boy lover with the love of a good woman, she would have the strength to break away." - Nancy, Albert Herring, New Palace Opera
Harmony Magazine
"Emily Hodkinson simpered personably as the Minskwoman, a role that found her relishing the spotlight in her opening solo but otherwise undersold her vocal and dramatic potential." - Minskwoman, Flight, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

"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." - Madame Larina, Eugene Onegin, Opera Holland Park Young Artist Performances

"Emily Hodkinson played Madame Larina with vocal precision and a secure sense of her status."- Madame Larina, Eugene Onegin, Opera Holland Park Young Artist Performances
