Mezzo-soprano Esme is from the deepest depths of Essex in the UK.

Her heritage is similar to that of a  Corgi:  Aesthetically English but undoubtedly Welsh. 

​

Winner of First Prize at the 2022 Kathleen Ferrier Awards, mezzo-soprano Esme Bronwen-Smith will join ETO for their Autumn tour, performing the role of Nerone in Agrippina off the back of a season at Glyndebourne both as a member of the chorus and covering the role of Cherubino in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro.
