British mezzo-soprano Olympia Hetherington is fast establishing herself
as an exciting new talent.

Since moving from London to Tuscany in 2020, she has immersed herself in the Italian operatic tradition and begun to perform widely throughout Italy and abroad. She can be heard regularly at concerts in Lucca, Forte dei Marmi and Florence, and has also made recent appearances in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. 

Last year she appeared on Rai television performing arias by Verdi in a theatrical retelling of the composer’s life. Recent roles include Suzuki (Madama Butterfly), Zita (Gianni Schicchi) and Zia Principessa (Suor Angelica) for the Teatro del Giglio in Lucca. 

She holds a scholarship for 2022/23 at the Accademia di Montegral, where she studies under the supervision of renowned Austrian conductor, Gustav Kuhn.
