“The British soprano has it all: good looks, a stunning voice and a follow-me stage charisma. She is the full package required of any modern opera star.” The Sunday Times on Kate Royal

Kate Royal’s awards include the 2004 Kathleen Ferrier Award, the 2004 John Christie Award, and the 2007 Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award. She signed an exclusive EMI contract early in her career.
Opera roles include Pamina Die Zauberflöte, Countess Le nozze di Figaro, Governess The Turn of the Screw, Poppea, Miranda in Thomas Ades’ The Tempest and the Marschallin for the world’s major opera houses, including the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Teatro Real Madrid, the Opéra de Paris, Metropolitan Opera New York and Glyndebourne Festival Opera.
