Sophie Kidwell
MEZZO SOPRANO
About
British mezzo-soprano Sophie Kidwell made her critically acclaimed debut in the role of Carmen for the Schlossfestspiele Ettlingen in 2022. This was shortly followed by her Austrian debut in the title role of La Tragédie de Carmen at Landestheater Linz with the Bruckner Orchestra. Praised in the German and Austrian press for her “impeccable voice”, distinguished by an "impressive usable range" and "sonorous lower register", Sophie has been described as "a name that opera fans should remember".
In the 2023/24 season, Sophie is a member of OperAvenir at Theater Basel, where she is engaged to sing the roles of Flosshilde (Das Rheingold, Wagner), Grimgerde (Die Walküre, Wagner), Maddalena (Rigoletto, Verdi), Frédéric (Mignon, Thomas) and Alto Soloist (Requiem, Mozart).
