Following a degree in Modern Languages (French and Russian) at Oxford University, Rebecca Ockenden embarked upon vocal studies at the Centre de Musique Baroque in Versailles. She has taken part in masterclasses or studied privately with Vera R\u00f3zsa, R\u00e9gine Crespin, No\u00eblle Barker, Schuyler Hamilton, Stefan Haselhoff, Margreet Honig and Roswitha M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n
Her d\u00e9but was at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es as Barbarina (Le Nozze di Figaro<\/em>) under Jean-Claude Malgoire, and with the same conductor she had a leading role in Telemann\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Der Geduldige Socrates<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>in France and Germany. She sang Pamina in\u00a0<\/span>Die Zauberfl\u00f6te<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>at the Goetheanum, Basel and Zerlina in\u00a0<\/span>Don Giovanni<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>staged by Andr\u00e9 Engel at Royaumont. She was selected for the Acad\u00e9mie Europ\u00e9enne de Musique in Aix-en-Provence for\u00a0<\/span>Die Zauberfl\u00f6te\u00a0<\/span><\/em>(Erste Dame). Further produtions have included Purcell\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>The Fairy Queen<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>at Op\u00e9ra de Lyon,\u00a0<\/span>Dido and Aeneas (<\/em>Belinda), Cassandra in Cavalli\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>La Didone<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw under Gabriel Garrido and Lully\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Roland<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>conducted by Ren\u00e9 Jacobs at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-Elys\u00e9es. Contemporary music is an important part of her repertoire and she has appeared in Pascal Dusapin\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Medeamaterial<\/em>, in Mauricio Kagel\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Aus Deutschland<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>at the Hessisches Staatstheater, Wiesbaden, and in Mela Meierhans\u2019\u00a0<\/span>Shiva for Anne<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>at the Berliner Festspiele.<\/p>\n William Christie engaged her for a series of productions with Les Arts Florissants: CD recordings of Desmarest\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Grands Motets Lorrains\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and Rameau\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Z\u00e9phyre<\/em>, following a concert in the Cologne Philharmonic Hall, Venus in Purcell\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>King Arthur<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>on tour in the United States, and Monteverdi and Gesualdo madrigals, choreographed by Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n at the Paris Op\u00e9ra Garnier. She interpreted the role of Juno in Monteverdi\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Il Ritorno d\u2019Ulisse in Patria<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>in Paris, London, Vienna and New York, a production by Adrian Noble that was filmed for DVD by Virgin Classics.<\/p>\n She regularly sings oratorio, whether a Bach cantata, the Faur\u00e9 Requiem or a contemporary piece, and she is an accomplished and dedicated recitalist and has been invited to perform at the Gasteig in Munich and at the Holywell Music Room, Oxford. She has sung programmes of German Lied and French m\u00e9lodie, as well as Russian and English song. A recent recital programme, which she devised, centred on the figure of Goethe\u2019s Mignon.<\/p>\n She performs as a duo with the Belgian lutenist Sofie Vanden Eynde and together they have given numerous concerts throughout Europe, notably at the Grachtenfestival, Amsterdam and at the London Handel Festival. Their CD \u201cMistress Elizabeth Davenant, her Songes\u201d was released on the Ram\u00e9e label to great acclaim.<\/p>\n Bringing her fascination for historical context and her in-depth knowledge of foreign languages to researching her programmes is a deeply satisfying part of her work, only surpassed by the pleasure of sharing these discoveries with her audience.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rebecca Ockenden\u00a0 SopranoBIOGRAPHYFollowing a degree in Modern Languages (French and Russian) at Oxford University, Rebecca Ockenden embarked upon vocal studies at the Centre de Musique Baroque in Versailles.
