Hanna’s wide operatic experience comprises performances in Poland, Germany and the UK in roles including Sesto (Handel Giulio Cesare), Amastris (Handel Serse), Poro (Hasse Cleofide) and Orfeo (Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice), as well as The Anne who Strips (Sallinen The King goes forth to France), Arina (Martinu The Marriage), Aurelio (Donizetti L’assedio di Calais) and Chérubin (Massenet Chérubin) for the Guildhall School and Lucilla (Rossini La scala di seta) and Marianna (Rossini Il Signor Bruschino) for British Youth Opera.
