Sarah Connolly

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.
