Overview
Hailed for her ‘gleaming sound, free and easy high notes, agile coloratura runs and lyrical grace’ (New York Times), Jessica Pratt is one of today’s foremost interpreters of bel canto’s most challenging repertoire. She was recently awarded the ultimate stamp of approval from Italian music critics, La Siola d’Oro.
‘The glory of Pratt’s voice is in the upper octave. From the Act I [of Lucia di Lammermoor] love duet onwards, her fluid, silvery soprano shimmered and took flight’ Bachtrack
