miss acclaimed mezzo soprano Sally
Burgess who sings excerpts from Carmen, La Vampa and Samson and Delilah,
among others, and is accompanied by pianists Christopher
Glynn and Jan Cunningham, and the

Jones.
“The lady is
superb, whether she turns her artistry to opera, jazz or Sondheim “. A
view that sums up the remarkable career of this accomplished mezzo soprano who
offers a versatility and diversity of styles unsurpassed by any other
British singer today.
Sally Burgess has made some of the most exciting operatic roles her own - the Sunday Times describing her as “the greatest exponent of Carmen I have ever seen”, a role she debuted for English National Opera’s new production by David Poutney and then went on to perform for the Metropolitan Opera, the Opéra National de Paris, and the Bavarian State Opera with other performances around the world.
