My Take

Dame Sarah Connolly is the kind of artist whose resume makes me sit up straight. A mezzo-soprano from County Durham, trained at the Royal College of Music, she commands a repertoire that runs from baroque and classical roles all the way to Wagner and the twentieth century, a breadth that is genuinely rare. Being made a Commander and then Dame of the British Empire confirms what the music already tells you. What I admire most is that versatility rarely dilutes a singer's core, yet hers seems only to have sharpened it. She is someone I would travel to hear live.

Overview

Dame Sarah Patricia Connolly (born 13 June 1963) is an English mezzo-soprano. Although best known for her baroque and classical roles, Connolly has a wide-ranging repertoire which has included works by Wagner as well as various 20th-century composers.
