Anna Patalong – Soprano, ISM Ambassador, Founder of Swap’ra & Development Consultant at BYO

As a young girl, Anna ensured her playdates were only at houses with pianos, until her parents finally gave in and bought one just for her. Unaware that she could make a career from singing opera, her early path took her via Leeds University and au pairing in Italy, before she found an unexpected route to training at Guildhall in London. Now a multi award-winning soprano who performs all over the world, Anna is praised for her captivating stage presence and extraordinary vocal fluidity.

She has gone on to use her voice in other ways, as an Ambassador for the Incorporated Society of Musicians, as Co-founder of Swap’ra supporting women & parents in Opera & in her role as a Development Consultant at British Youth Opera, who were instrumental in her earliest stage opportunities.
