Anna Starushkevych

Singer

Artist

Approved

Anna’s artistic highlights include becoming a winner of the International London Handel Competition (where she took the First Prize, the Audience Prize and the York Early Music Prize), a nominee of the Australian Helpmann Awards and one of the principal singers on the Grammy-nominated CD of Handel's 'Ottone' released on Decca Classics. The artist was a member of the creative team of a new opera 'Penelope. Seven Ways To Wait' by Kristina Arakelyan, as well as a co-director and the leading role performer at the opera’s world premiere in London in 2022. Anna is the creator of the 'Music To The Rescue' project – a series of her solo recitals-fundraisers also featuring an educational aspect on the history of Ukraine. All proceeds are donated to charities supporting Ukrainians affected by the war.
Starushkevych was born in Lviv, Ukraine, where she started her artistic journey as a pianist and then as a singer. After graduating from the Liudkevych State Music College and the Lysenko National Music Academy in Lviv, she moved to the United Kingdom to continue her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where she studied on the Opera Course and received her Masters of Music and Performance.
Having started her career singing mostly contralto repertoire, Anna later seized the opportunity to deeply explore her voice during the global pandemic and has since moved to a broader spectre of mezzo-soprano operatic roles such as: Angelina in Rossini’s ‘La Cenerentola’, Handel’s Ariodante, Sesto in Handel’s ‘Giulio Cesare’, Dorabella in ‘Cosi fan tutte’ by Mozart, Mignon by Thomas, Ottavia in ‘Il Coronazione di Poppea’ by Monteverdi, Sesto in ‘La Clemenza di Tito’ by Mozart, Stéphano in Gounod’s ‘Roméo et Juliette’.
Anna cherishes every opportunity to take part in creating experimental music, mixing various singing styles, including folk and jazz.
