British soprano Charlotte Du-Cann is currently a student of international soprano, Claire Rutter, and will begin her master’s studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama this September. She was recently awarded Joint First-Prize at the Dean & Chadlington Singing Competition, and is a recent student of the Morley Opera School in London. Performed roles include Titania (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Britten), Martha (Martha, Flotow), and Calisto (La Calisto, Cavalli), among other notable roles and chorus work.

She achieved a first-class degree in music from the University of Bristol, specialising in performance of art song and arias. Alongside her studies, she made her operatic debut as the Queen of the Night in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and went on to perform the roles of Phyllis (Iolanthe, G&S), and Ida (Die Fledermaus, J. Strauss), as part of the Bristol Operatic Society. She balanced her performance commitments with novel academic research into the character and music of Ophélie in Ambroise Thomas’s opera, Hamlet, specifically focusing on her ‘mad’ scene under a feminist lens.
