Diana Moore

Mezzo-Soprano

Suffolk-born mezzo-soprano Diana Moore is instantly recognisable for the warmth and depth of her voice, described by The Times as “not often heard outside recordings of Ferrier or Janet Baker.” Opera News praise her “soothingly velvety timbre, elegant musicality and innate dignity.”

She has sung at many of the world’s most respected venues and festivals while her affinity with Baroque repertoire has led to long-standing collaborations with leading early music ensembles and conductors across the UK, Europe and the US.

Diana is also a passionate advocate for English music and is widely recognised for her interpretations of Edward Elgar. She brings the same commitment to her recital work, often weaving spoken word into her programmes to bring music and story together. Recent projects include A Celebration of Kathleen Ferrier, Wearing the Trousers - the extraordinary women who inspired Handel’s travesti roles, and A Voice of One’s Own, showcasing female composers of note.

Highlights of the 2024–25 season include recitals at Wigmore Hall and Oxford International Festival of Song, performances with the Baltimore, Charlotte and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras alongside the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In 2025–26, Diana will return to Wigmore Hall for a recital of English and Welsh song, give a recital at Handel Hendrix House with harpsichordist and conductor, Julian Perkins, and complete Elgar’s oratorio trilogy with The Apostles at Chichester Cathedral.
