Patricia Bardon

Dublin-born mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon was a prize-winner in the inaugural Cardiff Singer of the World Competition which brought her to prominence at a very early age. Patricia has gone on to establish herself internationally as a versatile operatic and concert performer. With a voice of unusually wide range and flexibility, Patricia’s repertoire spans roles from Giulio Cesare, Orlando and Alcina through Semiramide, Tancredi, Carmen, Il Trovatore and Das Rheingold. Patricia Bardon’s discography includes Handel’s Orlando for Erato and Carmen for Chandos.
