Kate Radmilovič
Mezzosoprano
British-born Mezzosoprano and versatile singing actress Kate Radmilovič is currently relaunching her opera career, notably with mature roles such as Kostelnička (Jenůfa), Klytemnestra (Elektra), Jezibaba and the Hexe and Madame de Berkenfeld (La Fille du Regiment), among others.
Following several years’ experience as a solo soprano under ensemble contract in Germany and Switzerland, Kate Radmilovič has over 25 principal roles and notable competition successes to her credit, including the Audience Prize in the International Robert Stolz Operetta Competition.
Following her return to the UK, Kate played the iconic diva Carlotta in Phantom of the Opera in London’s West End. Over the last decade, Kate has transitioned into both a musical theatre and straight theatre performer as well as on screen under the name Kate Milner Evans.
Recent highlights include her exceptionally well-reviewed performances as Myrtle Bagot in Emma Rice’s critically-acclaimed adaption of Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury; Parthy and Mrs O’Brien in Daniel Evans’ much lauded production of Show Boat at the New London Theatre; and an off-Broadway nomination for her role of Mrs Zero in Joshua Schmidt’s Rock Opera The Adding Machine at the Finborough Theatre, London.
Past opera productions include Kate Radmilovič’s highly-acclaimed performances as Freia in Das Rheingold, conducted by Anthony Negus, whilst also covering Sieglinde in Die Walküre and Brünnhilde in Siegfried as part of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen for Longborough Festival Opera; the leading role Minette in Hans Werner Henze’s The English Cat conducted by Lothar Koenigs at Staatstheater Osnabrück; Die Königin der Nacht in Die Zauberflöte at Theater St Gallen and Eutiner Festspiele; Lady Billows in Albert Herring at Staatstheater Darmstadt; Antonia in Franziska Severin’s production of Les Contes d’ Hoffmann and a cabaret production of La Traviata in 7 mins; Christine and Sylvia Varescu in Emmerich Kálmán’s Czárdásfürstin, directed by Joseph Köpplinger, also at Theater St Gallen.
In concert repertoire, appearances include Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass, conducted by Lothar Koenigs; Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, conducted by Jiri Kout; and Frank Martin’s In Terra Pax, conducted by Marcus Bosch.
In March 2024, Kate will perform her first Verdi Requiem with the Eaton Choral Society in Norwich.

"Kate Milner-Evans’s Myrtle Bagot is bursting with personality as she pours out cups of tea for comedic effect, with her short embodiment of a spoilt child, Margot, being another of the night’s standouts.” — Anya Ryan, The Guardian, October 2021
"In the tearoom, Milner-Evans reigns supreme as owner Myrtle Bagot, a huge comic performance matched by a huge vocal range and versatility. She has fun too as Laura's daughter; and Laura's friend who catches her awkwardly unawares. She's no slacker on piano and particularly washboard too! Her relationship with her own ardent admirer, ticket inspector Albert Godby, and their romantic antics provide a perfect antidote to the high drama of Alec and Laura's encounters. Charles Angiama is a gloriously funny and physical Albert, dominated by his adored Myrtle.” — Judi Herman, WhatsOnStage, October 2021
“It starts with an anguished number for Mrs Zero (Kate Milner-Evans, excellent), who has to outgun the bursts of electronic percussion alongside the synth and piano from Ben Ferguson’s tireless musical trio. It’s not easy being married to Mr Zero ..."
— Dominic Maxwell, The Times, October 2016
“Kate Milner-Evans ... combining the looks of Garbo with a voice from Schoenberg
and Strauss" British Musical Theatre, 2019
“To call this Rheingold a triumph would be an understatement ... Kate Radmilovic's traumatised Freia is memorably characterised”. — Richard Morrison, The Times, June 2007
“Slavic metallic tone in upper register and deeply felt portrayal” - (Tatyana - Eugene Onegin) - Opernwelt 2000
