Rebecca Leggett
Singing with ‘grace and beauty’ (The Telegraph), Rebecca Leggett is making a name for herself in the field of early music.
Since joining the 11th edition of Les Arts Florissants’ ‘Le Jardin des Voix scheme’, Rebecca has toured in the ensemble’s production of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen with William Christie; venues include Teatro alla Scala, the Lincoln Center NYC and the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms 2024. Further concerts with the ensemble include Christie’s 80th birthday tour earlier this year, and touring as Piacere in Handel’s Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno in July 2025.
A ‘Rising Star’ with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Rebecca recently made her debut with Monteverdi Choir & Orchestras under the baton of Christophe Rousset. She has appeared with ensembles such as Arcangelo, The Sixteen, London Handel Players, Instruments of Time and Truth, City of London Sinfonia, and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra. She was a finalist for the Kathleen Ferrier Award in 2023, and an Emerging Artist at the Oxford Lieder Festival in 2022.
On the opera stage, Rebecca has sung at Teatro Maggio Fiorentino and Glyndebourne (Britten’s The Turn of the Screw), Blackheath Halls Opera (John Blows’ Venus and Adonis) and Collegium Music Bergen (Handel’s Theodora).
