Teng Xiang Ting

Soprano

Soprano Teng Xiang Ting is a professional classical singer who formally began her full time education in music after being called to the bar and qualifying as a lawyer in Singapore. She has since completed her Masters of Music Performance at the Royal Northern College of Music in the U.K, and Specialised Masters in Opera at the Swiss Opera Studio in Biel, Switzerland.

During her operatic debut in 2012 as Adina (from L'elisir d'amore), her performance was noted by The Straits Times as the 'Best Debut' of 2012. Since then, she has performed the full roles including Ilia (Idomeneo, Mozart), Mimi (La Boheme, Puccini), Dido (Dido and Aeneas, Purcell), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte, Mozart), Parasha (Mavra, Stravinsky), Rosalinda (Die Fledermaus, J. Strauss), the Governess (Turn of the Screw, Britten), and Eurydice (Orpheus in the Underworld, Offenbach). In 2019, Xiang Ting made her debut in Switzerland at the Theatres of Biel and Solothurn singing the roles of Belinda and the First Witch in Dido and Aeneas (Purcell), to critical acclaim. Recent engagements also include Norina in Don Pasquale (Donizetti) with The Arts Place in Singapore, during which her performance of Norina received special mention in The Straits’ Times Best Classical Concerts of 2019. Also an avid lover of the song and concert repertoire, Xiang Ting performs regularly in recitals. Her oratorio performances include the soprano soloist in Mozart’s Requiem, Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de confessore, Handel’s L’allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, Handel’s Messiah, Brahms’ Requiem, Haydn’s Creation, Haydn’s Nelson Mass, Haydn’s Little Organ Mass, Gounod’s Messe solennelle de Sainte Cécile, Mahler’s 4th Symphony and Vivaldi’s Gloria. Labels and accolades aside, Xiang Ting believes that this musical journey has always been about much more than just the beautiful voice. Singing lessons are life lessons, regardless of aptitude or wherever you are in this journey. She believes that this applies to all musical learning, and she is looking forward to sharing with you some of the things she has discovered in her own journey.
