Rebecca Barry is a young and seasoned mezzo-soprano from Manchester. She studied at the prestigious RNCM, under the tutelage of esteemed soprano Jane Irwin, where her studies were generously supported by the D’Oyly Carte Trust and Help Musicians UK.
During her time at the RNCM she performed many roles including the leading roles of Hansel in Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, Madame de la Haltière in Massenet’s Cendrillon and Irene in a staged operatic production by John Ramster of Handel’s Theodora. Rebecca's other accolades from her time at the RNCM include The Annie Ridyard Scholarship for Mezzo Sopranos, The James Martin Oncken Song Prize and being a finalist in the national celebrated Bruce Millar Gullivar Prize.
Prior to her time in the main college, Rebecca was also previously a member of the Junior Royal Northern College of Music and was supported financially by the Friends of the RNCM during her studies.
In 2016 she had the beginning to her career on the international stage, when she was thrilled to perform the role of Witness 3 in the world premiere of David Blake and Keith Warner’s new opera Icarus at the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in Montepulciano.
Other highlights include performing Elgar’s Sea Pictures with the WSO and Haydn’s Nelson Mass with the Royal Northern Sinfonia at the Sage Gateshead. She also had the privilege of performing the Duruflè Requiem with the Academy Choir Wimbledon under Matthew Best. She covered the role of Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia for the The Grange Fesitival 2018 and Cherubino at the New Generation Festival in Florence last year.
Rebecca looks forward to many upcoming engagements with Bergen National Opera in Norway, as well in the UK where she will perform the role of Gretel in The Hive with Liverpool Philharmonic and cover the role of Hermia in Britten’s A Midsummer Nights’ Dream for The Grange Festival 2021.
