  • Grammy award-winning soprano Hila Plitmann is a glittering jewel on the international music scene, known worldwide for her astonishing musicianship, versatile and beautiful voice, and the ability to perform challenging new works. The Los Angeles Times call her a performer with “tremendous vocal and physical grace”. Hila has worked with many leading conductors, including Leonard Slatkin, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Thomas Adès and Steven Sloane, appearing as head-liner with the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the National Symphony Orchestra. Hila has accumulated an impressive catalogue of professional recordings, including The Da Vinci Code soundtrack (Decca) which received a Grammy nomination, and in 2009 Hila won a Grammy for ‘Best Classical Vocal Performance’ for John Corigliano’s song cycle Mr. Tambourine Man (Naxos) with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.

      Elisabeth Murdoch Hall (April 2013)

      Draped vampishly over a chair, soprano Hila Plitmann beautifully conveyed the vulnerability of its protagonist and the many contrasts of its text... Renowned for her vocal flexibility and interpretations of contemporary works, Plitmann was also outstanding in Knussen's 'Hums and Songs of Winnie the Pooh'.
      Martin Duffy, The Canberra Times
      The surprises and new music-style innovations came in the impossibly high and angular line for Hila Plitmann's Ariel, her contribution providing a study in brilliant technique harnessed to a near-incomprehensible text.
      Clive O’Connell, The Age
      This study in longing and depravity is beautifully executed by soprano Hila Plitmann, who is an experienced performer of musical theatre and film scores.
      Duncan Yardley, ABC Classic FM
      On the performance side, London-based Israeli soprano Hila Plitmann sizzled her way across the stage, her exuberant physical mannerisms pure cabaret and her voice remaining supple, mellow and pure while delivering a barrage of leaps, shifts and shrill effects.
      Eamonn Kelly, The Australian
