Louise Winter has appeared on some of the world’s great opera stages, including, in this country, the Royal Opera House, English National Opera and Glyndebourne.  For ENO she sang the role of Carmen, directed by Jonathan Miller, and the title role in Handel’s Xerxes in the acclaimed production by Nicholas Hytner.  Her recordings include an album of songs by Frank Bridge with pianist Roger Vignoles.  In 2023 she sang the roles of Frugola and Zita in Sir David McVicar’s new production of Puccini’s Il Trittico for Scottish Opera and Mistress Quickly for Opera North’s warmly received ’sustainable’ production of Verdi’s Falstaff.
