Helena Dix – soprano

Australian-born Helena Dix has secured her name in leading roles on operatic stages around the world. Described by the Spectator as possessing "a musical range, from high soprano to deep, deep contralto with a capacity to render the unknowable. She can conjure thought, manifest obsession and a fear that can only be conquered by being surrendered to."

Helena has established a prestigious global career with leading roles at the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro Real, and Scottish Opera, alongside major Australian triumphs with Melbourne Opera and State Opera of South Australia, including her Sydney Opera House debut. Renowned for dramatic bel canto roles, her recent milestones feature the title role in Norma at the Met and acclaimed appearances with the Chelsea Opera Group, with future highlights including Aïda and a return to Norma in Australia.

Her concert repertoire includes Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle, Mozart Coronation Mass, Requiem and Mass in C Minor, Rheinberger Oratorio de Noel, Saint-Saens Christmas Oratorio, Brahms Requiem, Richard Strauss Vier Letzte Lieder, Mahler Rückert Lieder, Mendelssohn Elijah, Beethoven 9th Symphony, Faure Requiem, Britten War Requiem, Chausson Poème de l’amour et de la mer and Haydn Creation. Helena has also recorded the Verdi Requiem with the Bach Choir and Missa Sabrenesis by Howells with the BBC Concert orchestra and The Bach Choir, both released on Hyperion records.

She made her USA debut as a finalist in the Seattle International Wagner Opera competition to great critical acclaim. In 2022 Helena was awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Music.
