ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Dame Felicity Ann Emwhyla Lott, DBE, FRAM, FRCM (born 8 May 1947[3]) is an English soprano.
Lott was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. From her earliest years she was musical, having started studying piano at age 5. She also played violin and began singing lessons at 12. She is an alumna of Royal Holloway, University of London, obtaining a BA in French and Latin in 1969.[4] During her year in France as part of her four-year degree course, from 1967–68 she took singing lessons at the conservatory in Grenoble. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, winning the Principal’s Prize.
She made her operatic debut at the City of London Festival in 1974 as Seleuce in Tolomeo by Handel. The following year she appeared as Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the English National Opera.[4] In 1976 she appeared in the premiere of Henze’s We Come to the River at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and began a long relationship with the Glyndebourne Festival. In 1977, she recorded the Charpentier Te Deum H.146 with the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, conducted by Philip Ledger, for EMI Records.
She has been associated with the works of Richard Strauss including his lieder, the Four Last Songs and the roles of the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier and the Countess in Capriccio. She has also appeared in operettas, singing the title role in Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow at Glyndebourne, as well as Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus and the title roles in Offenbach’s La belle Hélène and La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein.
She has a special love for French “mélodies”, German “Lieder” and the English song repertoire, particularly the songs of Benjamin Britten. She was a founding member of the Songmakers’ Almanac. Her accompanist since her student days has been Graham Johnson, and they have given a great number of recitals together. She also has performed duet recitals with mezzo-soprano Ann Murray, baritone Thomas Allen and Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager. She is also featured as a soloist in a recording of the Mozart Requiem in D Minor with the London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra. For Hyperion Records, Lott has recorded many songs, by Chabrier, Fauré, Gounod, Hahn, Poulenc, and Schubert, often with Graham Johnson, and for Chandos Records, songs by Richard Strauss and Wolf, among others.
Lott is a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians as well as Patron of the Southwell Music Festival.
