A bit about Louisa:

In 2011, she performed as Sorceress (Dido and Aeneas) with Winterbourne Opera, Carmen (Carmen) in concert with Warriner Choral Society, Zita (Gianni Schicchi) with Trinity College of Music, and Bertha (The Barber of Seville (or Salisbury!)) with OperaUpCose.

In opera scenes, she has performed as Marcellina & Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro), Lazuli (L?Etoile), Doroth?e (Cendrillon), Minsk Woman (Flight), Octavian (Der Rosenkavalier), Bianca (The Rape of Lucretia), Angelina (Cenerentola), Idamante (Idomeneo), Sesto (La Clemenza di Tito), Diana (La Calisto), Rosina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), and Dorabella (Cosi fan tutte).

Louisa is a regular recitalist and has sung as mezzo soprano soloist in Vivaldi?s Gloria and Magnificat, Pergolesi?s Stabat Mater, and Bach?s Christmas Oratorio. She has recorded CDs and film as a solo singer and lyricist.

We hope that you might be able to join us as we celebrate another year added to the life of this church.
