Actually I haven't heard of Alison Hagley doing anything for a while, which
is a shame, but I will try and find out. I have some friends who might know,
and there are a couple of quite useful sites where one can look up
schedules. Watch this space!

You can look her up on this site. I does have a biography, but it is in
German. According to her dchedule she is going to be doinga few Zerlinas and
Susannas in Munich in May and June.

And I believe she's sung Zdenka/o (Arabella) somewhere as well. It will make
a pleasant change from all those Susannas: the poor woman must have been
pawed by every bass/baritone in England ...
She's also (I believe) sung Dorabella -- with Hillevi Martinpelto -- so
perhaps we will have a new Strauss/Mozart specialist at hand when Te Kanawa
is too old to dream:-)
I doidn't realise that she was the Melisande in that Boulez performance with
WNO and that the long hair on the DGG cover is in fact hers. I've been
meaning to order it for a while, and will now take the plunge.
BTW in reply to her rmo critics I cannot hear anything wrong with her top
notes, and she doesn't usually sound like a 1955 Despina (pace Mike Richter).
*That* is her *teasing* voice.

And you don't have to know much German to understand it <-(:-{)+ <-(:-{)+
From this excellent site you can see that Mme Hagley was trained at the
Guildhall School of Music 1979-84 and at the National Opera Studio London
1987-88 before making her debut at the Aldeburgh Festival in Handel's
'Rodelinda' (where her chances of being pawed by basses, baritones or indeed
tenors, were probably virtually nil). She's also recorded Elgar's incidental
music to Elgar's "Starlight Express" a minor if completely delightful work,
which does *not* require her to wear roller skates ...

The soprano studied from 1979-1984 at the Guildhall School of Music, and in 1987 she studied at the National Opera Studio in London. Her stage debut was in 1985 in Handel's opera "Rodelinda" at the Aldeburgh Festival. In addition, she was in Handel's Flavio that same year, Re de 'Langobardi Batignano in 1986 at the festival at Camden, and in Mozart's La Finta Giardiniera as well as Clorinda in Gioachino Rossini's La Cenerentola. Crucial to the course of her career was the Glyndebourne Festival Opera, where she stayed faithfully for many years. She performed with Glyndenbourne for the first time in 1988 when she starred in the opera L'Enfant et les Sortilèges. She returned as Papagena, Nanetta, Susanna and Zerlina and also joined the Glyndebourne Touring Opera as Varvara and Despina. In 1986, she made her debut as a first Flower girl in Richard Wagner's Parsifal at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, and was there to perform in Peter Grimes and Falstaff. The star role for the English soprano is that of Susanna in Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro", which she sang in Paris, London, Munich, Toronto, Glyndebourne, Ludwigsburg and Venice, which was documented on CD and DVD. The two Le Nozze di Figaro DVDs are the 1993 production at the Théâtre du Chatelet (in which Welsh bass-bariton Bryn Terfel starred as Figaro)and the 1994 Glyndenbourne production with Renee Fleming. The only other DVD that I know of that she did was Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande.

voice - I think she wisely chose to confine her career to the smaller, more
refined scale, principally at Glyndebourne. I don't see any evidence of a
current career - she is 50 - I would guess that her real age passed the age
of the roles she was made to sing, like Judith Blegen or Isobel Buchanan, or
the divine Ms. B - all girlish - although with a voice as pure and charming
as Ms. Hagley's, you'd think she might be still singing oratorio - who
knows? - I read in a blog that she had two children - home life may have put
the kibosh on stage life. God bless her, wherever she is, for that one very
special DVD.
