Join mezzo soprano Nancy Holt for this fascinating lecture recital exploring the enduring legacy of the castrato tradition and its profound impact on the development of the mezzo-soprano voice. Tracing the evolution of vocal roles from the Baroque era to the present day, the recital examines how the disappearance of the castrati reshaped operatic casting and gave rise to some of the mezzo-soprano’s most compelling repertoire.
Nancy is the 2024/25 recipient of The Musicians' Company Saloman Seelig Award, a Help Musicians Sybil Tutton Opera Award holder and a Countess of Munster Trust Award winner. She is also a trained dancer, having studied ballet, modern, and tap dance for over ten years.
