Rebecca Watson Hill
Professional singer and educator
Professional Career
I made my operatic debut at Teatro Sao Carlos, Lisbon in L'losla Disabitata, Haydn, after coming second in the Valentino Bucchi contemporary singing competition in Rome.
In my singing career I have sung principal roles for Garden Opera singing Nedda in Pagliacci and Madame Silberklang in The Impressario and for Pavilion Opera singing Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor. I have sung the role of Manon by Massenet and Pamina in the Magic Flute for English Touring Opera. Other opera companies I have sung for include the English National Opera and the Mid Wales Opera. I enjoyed singing solo soprano in oratorios such as Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, Brahms Requiem and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana around Europe and the UK.
