KALI HARDWICK

“Kali Hardwick (Gretel) and Mack Wolz (Hänsel) make fresh, cheeky and heartfelt use of the wide musical palette of their roles, and they play a wittily accentuated, stylized and choreographed brother and sister who love and tease each other with a wonderfully spontaneous and graceful stage presence.”

- Herbert Bütticker, Roccosound

Praised for her stage presence and charm, soprano Kali Hardwick recently made her role debut as Gretel in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. Since the 23/24 season, Kali has been a member of the ensemble at Theater St. Gallen, where she as won audiences with her playful stage presence as Jemmy in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell and enthralled them with her “silvery light timbre” and “bright, clear soprano” as the soprano soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana. Her coming season includes two more role debuts: Adele (Die Fledermaus) and Vierte Magd (Elektra).

“Playful and cheeky, with a wonderfully bright, luminous soprano, Kali Hardwick delights in the trouser role as high-spirited Jemmy and also enriches the ensembles with bell-like tones.”

Following her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Kali joined the studio, OperAvenir, at Theater Basel. There she performed roles such as Berta in Il barbiere di Siviglia (where she was “a highlight” - Michael Hug, “a real showpiece” - Marco Stücklin, and “wonderfully senile” - Simon Bordier, Basler Zeitung), Barbarina (Le nozze di Figaro), Anna (Intermezzo), and Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), where she was praised for her captivating interpretations. She concluded the 20/21 season by making her debut as Pamina (Die Zauberflöte).
