Belinda Williams

In the 2021/2022 season, British soprano Belinda Williams, will be making her debut as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni at the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford. Belinda began her career as a mezzo-soprano, making her European debut as Dorabella at the Staatstheater Kassel in 2012 shortly after graduating from the Royal Academy Opera Course. Her debut appearance won her the Nachwuchsförderpreis for best young talent and she was immediately invited to join the ensemble in Kassel, where Belinda stayed for 5 seasons singing roles including Hänsel, Orlofsky, Annina, Maddalena, and Baba the Turk. In the last couple of years, Belinda began to be engaged more in dramatic repertoire, appearing as Gertrud in Hänsel und Gretel in Wuppertal, conducted by musical director Julia Jones and directed by Denis Krie
