THE TIMES
About
British/New-Zealand mezzo-soprano Joanna Harries is a dynamic and versatile performer and a recent graduate of the National Opera Studio in London.
In the 2022/23 season she makes her debut with Opera Rara and the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Southbank Centre, with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, and with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Cadogan Hall.
This season she also sings roles for Opera Holland Park, West Green House Opera and at Buxton International Festival, gives recitals for Opera Prelude and a lunchtime recital at the Royal Opera House, and returns to Oxford Lieder and Leeds Lieder with mental health initiative SongPath.
“Throughout the performance Harries’s robust mezzo-soprano adroitly navigated the shifting moods and keys of the piece, letting rip in her final exchange with Death."
