Biography
Canadian Soprano Brittany King brings a captivating presence, drawing attention with her remarkable versatility across various styles, languages and performance mediums. Described as “vibrant”, “angelic” and “first-class” by Charles Hutch Press (York), Brittany has appeared in traditional opera, oratorio, and recital stages in Canada and the UK and on digital platforms accessible worldwide.
In the vibrant 2023 season, Brittany had the privilege of performing as a featured soloist at some Magnificent Cathedrals such as Salisbury Cathedral, York Minster Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral, Exeter Cathedral among other concert halls. With her compelling performances in Brahms, Faure & Haydn’s requiem and Handel's Messiah, Brittany was beginning to build her reputation as a sought after Soprano in the United Kingdom.
Brittany’s upcoming 2024-25 season launches with a Maundy service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, recital programs at Blackburn, Derby + Bristol Cathedral and Bach Magnificat with Worcester Chamber Choir. Christmas 2024 and into 2025 are shaping up with exciting programs including Faure’s requiem + Saint Saens Christmas Oratorio and G&S. Brittany’s ever building work in the UK started with the Worcester Choral Society, (Handel’s Messiah), the Gloucester Choral Society (Bach's Christmas Oratorio), and the Coventry Cathedral Choral Society (Bob Chilcott’s St John Passion).
Prior to the pandemic, Brittany was gaining momentum as a sought-after soloist for UK choral and concert society performances. Appearances included turns as the soprano soloist with the Newent Choral Society (Handel’s Messiah), Stratford Choral Society (Bach’s Christmas Oratorio), Elgar Baroque Singers - Worcester (Haydn’s Creation), Abingdon Choral Society - Oxford (Handel's Dixit Dominus and Vivaldi's Gloria), and Gloucester Cathedral (Vivaldi's Gloria.) Brittany was a featured performer at Elmslie House - Malvern (The Art of Song concert) and for the Leighton Buzzard Choral Society (Saint-Saëns Christmas Oratorio.)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Brittany was active in creating digital music content for Timothy Eaton Memorial Church (TEMC) in Toronto. Collaborating with Director of Music Ministries Dr. Elaine Choi and Principal Organist Stephen Boda as soloist and quartet member, she covered repertoire spanning Handel, Mozart, Rutter, and a North American premiere by Hong Kong composer Ernest Hui.
In Canada, Brittany’s notable performances include Schubert’s Benedictus - Mass in G major (TEMC), Bach’s Magnificat (Durham Philharmonic and Orchestra), and Saint-Saëns Symphony No.3 (Toronto Concert Orchestra and TEMC.) She performed Orff’s Carmina Burana (Wilfrid Laurier University and MOTUS O Company) and Gorecki’s Symphony No.3 (Waterloo Collegiate Institute String Orchestra). She was a guest soloist during the pre-show at the Manitoba Opera House.
Equally at home as an operatic artist, Brittany debuted with Toronto Operetta Theatre as Pitti-Sing in Gilbert & Sullivans' The Mikado (Sony Centre Toronto.) Other roles include Blanche from Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites, Sister Genovieffa in Puccini’s Suor Angelica (Opera NUOVA and Oshawa Opera), and Despina in Mozart’s Cosi fan Tutte (Opera by Request - Toronto.)
