She was born in London. The soprano learned her craft at the Guildhall School of Music from 1979 to 1984, and at the National Opera Studio London in 1987. She made her stage debut in 1985 as Rodelinda in Handel's opera at the Aldeburgh Festival.

She returned as Papagena, Nanetta, Susanna and Zerlina and also joined at the Glyndebourne Touring Opera as Varvara and Despina.

She has appeared as Susanna in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro in Paris, London, Munich, Toronto, Glyndebourne, Ludwigsburg and Venice, and has recorded this role on CD and DVD.

Pierre Boulez and director Peter Stein chose Alison Hagley to play Mélisande in their highly acclaimed production of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande for Welsh National Opera in 1992. This production was recorded on DVD.

Deh, vieni, non tardar, oh gioia bella,
vieni ove amore per goder t’appella,
finché non splende in ciel notturna face,
finché l’aria è ancor bruna e il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l’aura,
che col dolce sussurro il cor ristaura,
qui ridono i fioretti e l’erba è fresca,
ai piaceri d’amor qui tutto adesca.
Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose,
ti vo‘ la fronte incoronar di rose.

Deh, vieni, non tardar, o gioia bella,
Vieni ove amore per goder t’appella.
Finché non splende in ciel notturna face
Finché l’aria è ancor bruna e il mondo tace.
Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l’aura,
Che dolce sussurro il cor ristaura;
Qui ridono i fioretti, e l’erba è fresca:
Ai piaceri d’amor qui tutto adesca.
Vieni, ben mio: tra queste piante ascose
Ti vo’ la fronte incoronar di rose.

I wish she was more well known, she has SUCH a beautiful voice and is a true artist. =)

Sandy Waddell

I never tire of her interpretation. I first heard her as Susanna more than 25 years ago, and this is still a benchmark performance: clarity, sweetness of tone (and character), intelligence, emotional directness, and a meltingly expressive line. A gem.

I wish Ms. Hagley were better known.

Bravissima Alison! I love this rendition.

I *love* this performance, better than many (deservedly) renown ones. She is very faithful to the score (albeit at 0:54 she sings the "ta" Quarter Note in "e il mondo tace" as a D instead of the original C - her only fancy I noticed): pitch, force, tempo, slurs, are exactly as written (no personal cadenzas); all this at once is rare, above all when with such a beautiful voice and sensible expression.

She IS the best Susanna. The color and sweetness of the voice are unique, and every emotion is clearly conveyed by it. Lovely actress, too.
