Soloists

Louise Alder

British soprano Louise Alder is one of today’s most in-demand artists, praised as “an instinctive singing-actress” (The Arts Desk) and “a terrific talent, combining a big, lustrous voice with flawless intonation and keen intelligence” (The Times).

Equally at home on the opera, concert and recital stage, she has performed at major venues including the Royal Opera House, Wiener Staatsoper, Glyndebourne Festival, Bayerische Staatsoper, Carnegie Hall, and Wigmore Hall, where she held a celebrated artistic residency in 2024.

Following her appearance as soloist at the Last Night of the Proms, she makes her Metropolitan Opera debut in the 2025–26 season.

Upcoming highlights include returns to Covent Garden as Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) and to the Bayerische Staatsoper for their Festspiele Barokkonzert, as well as her Met debut as Zdenka (Arabella). She also sings Semele at Dutch National Opera, Romilda (Serse) with the Academy of Ancient Music, and Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte) with Wiener Staatsoper in Monte Carlo.

On the concert stage, she performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Haydn’s Paukenmesse, and Mozart’s Requiem, and gives recitals with Julius Drake, Joseph Middleton, and Mauro Peter, including a performance at Muziekgebouw.
