  • Annie Gill completed her postgraduate studies at the Royal Northern College of Music before becoming a young artist at the Opera National du Rhin in Strasbourg. She was a major scholar of the Peter Moores foundation.

    She came to international prominence when she performed the role of Mercedes at the Opera Comique Paris in a new production of Carmen directed by Adrian Noble under the baton of Sir John Eliot Gardiner. She has subsequently sung Mercedes for Opera North and the title role of Carmen for Scottish Opera on Tour. In David McVicar’s new Ring Cycle for L’Opera National du Rhin, she sang the role of Waltraute under the musical direction of Marko Letonja.

    She has sung Amore and Valletto in L’Incoronazione di Poppea with Rinaldo Alessandrini and David McVicar at the Opera National du Rhin and Adza in Chabrier’s Etoile at the Opera Comique Paris with Sir John Eliot Gardiner. At Wexford Festival Opera she sang Clarina La Cambiale di Matrimonio (Rossini) and Francisca Maria Padilla (Donizetti). In Katie Mitchell’s groundbreaking Glyndebourne production of the St Matthew Passion she sang the First Witness. Contemporary opera credits include the role of Donna in Opera North’s world premiere production of Skin Deep composed by David Sawer with a libretto by Armando Ianucci and directed by Richard Jones. She has also performed Sara in Jonathan Dove’s Tobias and the Angel and Suzanne in Martin Butler’s A Better Place. Annie Gill performed James Redwood’s Still Water, a chamber opera based on The Turn of the Screw.

    Concert performances include Mozart Coronation Mass in St Petersburg with Kristofer Wahlander and the St Petersburg Festival Orchestra and Cantata BWV60 with Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique at the Royal Festival Hall and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. She was the soloist in performances of the Durufle Requiem given with Sir John Eliot and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France at the St Denis Festival and has performed Telemann and Buxtehude cantatas with Andrew Parrott and the Orquestra Barroca Casa da Música in Porto.

    Her recordings include the Dublin version of Handel’s Messiah, which won a Gramophone Award 2007 in the Baroque Vocal category and the recently released St Matthew Passion, both with the Dunedin Consort.

    • Carmen
      Scottish Opera

      The Miss Brodie-ish brogue of Annie Gill’s Carmen had a certain manipulative allure, filtered through her fine-and-full high mezzo. The pout-quotient may have been low but her diction was good – essential for the town halls this show will visit. And I’d go for a well-sung Carmen every time over a clichéd vamp.
