Angela Hogan

Mezzo Soprano

Angela Hogan is a much-lauded Sydney-based mezzo-soprano, whose vocal range and striking performances have earned her a reputation as one of Opera Australia’s most diverse and powerful performers.

Born in Bendigo, Angela worked in multiple areas of musical performance before finding her passion for operatic theatre. She has shown time and time again that this experience has given her a wide acting range, a reliable vocal technique, and a commanding stage presence. She has been praised for her delivery of critical scenes in roles which called for “bold”, “chilling”, or “alluring” performances.

Early in her career she performed with Melbourne Opera in roles such as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly, Dorabella in Cosi fan Tutte, Dido in Dido and Aeneas, and Valencienne in The Merry Widow. Extending to Australian International Opera Company in 2013, she toured China multiple times as Carmen in Carmen. From 2014 to 2016 she worked with Opera Australia’s Schools Company, where she performed as Cenerentola & Clorinda in La Cenerentola, and Hansel & The Witch in Hansel & Gretel. In 2017 Opera Australia (OA) signed her on as a Casual Chorister, and less than a year later she was signed on as a full time Chorister.

Now with Opera Australia (OA), Angela has performed in such acclaimed roles as Madame De La Haltiére in Cendrillon, Flora Bervoix in La Traviata, as Frugola, La Zia Principessa and La Ciesca in Il Trittico, as Second Norn in Gotterdämmerung, and as Carmen in Carmen, where through each of these performances she has won the attention of critics. Angela’s praise ranges from “Angela… chews the scenery with gleeful authority” in Cendrillon (Limelight), to being described as “the ultimate triple threat” (Sydney Morning Herald) for her roles in Il Trittico, to delivering “first class” performances as Flora Bervoix (JWIRE), to her “rich and agile” vocal performance and “unforgettable stage presence” as Carmen (Limelight).

She has also performed outside of operatic theatre, performing in Opera Up Late with Reuben Kaye in both 2023 and 2025, and OA’s Opera Gala Concert at the Field of Lights in Uluru in 2019.
