“a beautifully formed mezzo-soprano voice” - The New York Times
“high wattage charisma” – The Independent on Tara Erraught
A rich, radiant voice, expansive range and dynamic stage presence are the hallmarks of Irish mezzo-soprano Tara Erraught.
Recent season highlights include company debuts with Grand Teatre del Liceu, The Metropolitan Opera, Staatsoper Berlin, Bayerische Staatsoper, Glyndebourne Festival, Hamburg Staatsoper, Wiener Staatsoper, Theater an der Wien and Washington National Opera. A prolific recitalist, she has appeared at London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Schubertiade at Schwarzenberg and the Salzburg Festival. Recordings include Deutsche Gramophone’s live recording of two concert performances of Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito with Joyce DiDonato as Sexto and Rolando Villazon as Tito under Yannick Nézet-Séguin in Baden Baden.
Tonight, she is joined by College Musician and Royal Philharmonic Society Award Winner Joseph Middleton, hailed by Opera Magazine as ‘rightful heir to legendary accompanist Gerald Moore.’

He, Zigeuner, greife in die Saiten ein!
Hochgetürmte Rimaflut
