Nathalie Stutzmann, contralto

On Friday 17 October, Nathalie Stutzmann will perform in recital with her orchestra, Orefo 55. The recital is part of the Early Music and Baroque series, and will include arias such as the furious "Gemo in un punto e fremo" and the heart-rending "Scherza infida".

Hilary Summers will perform as the Alto Soloist in the Christmas performance of Messiah at the Wigmore Hall on 23rd December, with the incomparable Christian Curnyn conducting.

In the January to March booking season, Sonia Prina returns to the Wigmore Hall on 3rd January with Roberta Invernizzi to promote their album Amore e Morte dell’Amore, published on the Naive record label. The Spring Season also sees the arrival of the French-Canadian Contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux, who will perform in recital on 27th Febuary.

Finally, in the Summer Season, regular Wigmore Hall performer Sara Mingardo will perform as part of the BBC Radio 3 Lunchtime Recital Series on 11th May, with a programme to include works by Falconieri and Monteverdi.
