Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo has been named Female Singer of the Year at the OPUS KLASSIK 2025 Awards, held on October 12 at the Konzerthaus Berlin. She received the honor for her acclaimed second solo album on Deutsche Grammophon, freezing – a visionary program that interlaces music spanning five centuries, from Henry Purcell to today’s contemporary composers, in a richly atmospheric and cohesive sound world. During the ceremony, D’Angelo captivated the audience with a newly arranged orchestral medley of Wild Mountain Thyme and O Love Is Teasing.
