Special Guest: Anna Starushkevych

Anna Starushkevych is a Ukrainian-born mezzo-soprano. Anna studied at the Lviv National Academy of Music and the Lviv State Music College in Ukraine before studying at the International Opera Course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London.

In June 2015, Anna was nominated for the Best Female Supporting Role in an opera at the Helpmann Awards (Sydney, Australia) for her performance of the role of Rosimonda in Handel’s Faramondo at the Brisbane Baroque Festival 2015. She is the first mezzo-soprano to win the Handel Singing Competition in London, taking the first prize (the Adair Prize), the Audience Prize, and the York Early Music Prize. This followed winning the Susan Longfield Award and third prize in the Jackdaws Vocal Award at the Wigmore Hall in 2010.

Anna’s recordings include Rosimonda in Handel’s opera Faramondo for Accent Records live from the Gottingen International Handel Festival 2014, as well as a solo performance on BBC Four’s DVD Maestro or Mephisto – the real Georg Solti.
