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). Highlights include the title role in Handel’s Berenice for the Royal Opera House’s first production of the opera since its 1737 Covent Garden premiere, Irene in Vivaldi’s Bajazet at the Royal Opera House Linbury Studio, Nitocris in Handel’s Belshazzar for the Grange Festival, Tippett’s A Child of Our Time with the City of Birmingham Symphony at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, George Benjamin’s A Mind of Winter with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the world premieres of Alex Woolf’s A Feast in the Time of Plague for Grange Park Opera, Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s Io Passion at the Bregenz and Aldeburgh Festivals. She also created the role of Pakriti in Jonathan Harvey’s Wagner Dream in Pierre Audi’s production for the Netherlands Opera. As a recitalist, she has performed Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine at the Wigmore Hall with pianist Christopher Glynn, with whom she has recorded numerous albums including songs by Grainger, Grieg and Mussorgsky.
