Judith Howarth
Biography
One of Britain's most popular sopranos, Judith Howarth has had a durable career, thanks to her large repertory and her mastery of both lyric and dramatic roles in several languages. She is also a significant educator. Her stage debut came in 1984 in Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg. In 1995, a recording of Walton's Troilus and Cressida, on which Howarth appeared, won an Opera of the Year nod from Gramophone magazine. She is a force in concert music as well, performing Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 52 ("Lobgesang"), Mahler's Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand"), and Elgar's oratorio King Olaf. Howarth joined the London Philharmonic and conductor Vladimir Jurowski on a 2021 recording of Mahler's "Symphony of a Thousand."
