An Oxford International Song Festival young artist and a recent finalist in the Rebecca Clarke Song Competition, Gabriella Noble is a Mezzo-Soprano and Conductor from London, who trained on the opera programme at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Alongside opera and song, Gabriella loves performing early music and was recently the recipient of a Young Artist’s Scholarship from Fundaciòn Salvat, and was awarded the 2023 Rodney Gibson prize for Early Music by the Association of English Singers and Speakers. She has been grateful to develop her craft with young artist positions, including on the Wigmore French Song Exchange, which culminated in recital appearances at Salle Cortot in Paris and at the Wigmore Hall. Gabriella was a 2024 Alvarez Young Artist at Garsington Opera and is grateful for the support of the Knight Family Foundation, the Worshipful Company of Dyers, and the Worshipful Company of Horners. She studies with Janice Chapman. This summer she made her role debut as Cherubino with the Cumbria Opera group, a role which she is reprising with Oxford Opera in October 2026. 

​​

Alongside singing, Gabriella is a passionate conductor and educator, working regularly with the National Youth Choir and having held posts with choirs at St Peters, London Docks and at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, where she conducted in broadcasts for the BBC as well as in regular concerts and services. She loves working to a high standard with both amateurs and professionals, offering an ambitious approach that is informed by her singing experience and love of story-telling, which she believes is an absolutely necessary feature of choral text delivery. 

​

Gabriella is extremely enthusiastic about making new work and was delighted to create the role of Voirrey in the first production of Sam Meredith's and Sophia Trewick's 'Gef!', a short comic opera about a clever talking mongoose! At Guildhall, she received the Tracey Chadwell Memorial Award for New Music. She is keen to hear from collaborators who are equally as preoccupied with story-telling, the main impulse that informs all of her work! In her spare time, Gabriella writes poems, two of which were published in the inaugural issue of An Inkling, an interdisciplinary journal.
