Highlights
-
Born in Australia, Lyric-Coloratura Mezzo-Soprano, Allegra Giagu, made her Sydney Opera House début at eleven years old—joining Gondwana Voices, the Sydney Children's Choir and Opera Australia—engaged by the Australian Chamber Orchestra for the Huntington Estate Music Festival and as a soloist for the Sydney Symphony, under Edo de Waart.
Allegra stepped into the media spotlight when Leo Schofield selected her to represent the Australian and British Commonwealth as soloist for the Edinburgh Military Tattoo—Salute to Australia. These performances were the catalyst not only for a collaboration with Dame Judi Dench and Classic FM for the Story of Christmas Appeal, but also for Allegra's relocation to London—attending the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal College of Music.
Allegra makes her ABC Classic debut with Evergreen Ensemble and Concerto Caledonia, and their album Curious Caledonians, journeying into the sound world of colonial Australia with music drawn from the music collections of Sydney Living Museums and the State Library of New South Wales.
