One of the best loved British singers of recent generations, Elizabeth Watts comes from Norfolk and was a chorister at Norwich Cathedral and then went to the Royal College of Music where she quickly made a name for herself. She won the Song Prize at the 2006 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition and in the same year was awarded the Kathleen Ferrier Award. 

She went on to establish her career as an opera singer and was equally at home on the recital platform and at the world’s leading concert halls. Highlights this season include roles at Garsington Opera, concert performances with LPO, at the Bach Mozart Festival, in Lausanne and at Wigmore Hall. She will appear at the 2024 Aldeburgh Festival in Snape. Elizabeth has an extensive discography including a performance of A German Requiem by Brahms, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Music Director of The Metropolitan Opera in New York.
