Claire
Booth
“An actor-singer who can raise the dramatic heat as soon as she enters the stage” (Opera Now), “that most questing, resourceful and intelligent of sopranos” (Daily Telegraph), British soprano Claire Booth has been widely acclaimed for her “radiant, rapturous, wonderfully nuanced performances” and voice of “piercing purity [and] luscious richness” (The Scotsman). Recipient of the 2025 Royal Philharmonic Society Singer of the Year Award, for “artistry that knows no bounds”, she is renowned for her breadth of repertoire, and for the vitality and musicianship that she brings to the operatic stage and concert platform; with a versatility that encompasses repertoire spanning from Monteverdi and Handel, through Rossini, Janacek and Britten, to a fearless commitment to the music of the present day.
