We are delighted to welcome mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean to Rayfield Allied for general management, where she will be managed by Megan Steller.
The London-based Australian mezzo-soprano has been called "a force in music to be reckoned with", and is quickly becoming known for her wide-ranging repertoire and her keen passion for curation and programming. Praised by The Guardian for her “irrepressible sense of drama and unmissable, urgent musicality”, Lotte is equally at home in chamber music, art song, early music, opera and narration, with a particular focus on new music, having premiered many works from leading international composers.
Recent operatic engagements include Shlomowitz Electric Dreams (Teacher - Grand Théâtre de Geneve/Ensemble Contrechamps) Handel Theodora (Irene - Muziekgebouw Amsterdam) and Dean Hamlet (Semi Chorus - State Opera of South Australia/Adelaide Festival), and upcoming engagements include Weinberg Die Passagierin (Vlasta - Bayerische Staatsoper) and recitals at Wigmore Hall, Oxford Song, and CentroCentro Madrid.
