Beth Taylor[1] is a Scottish operatic mezzo-soprano, who has performed mainly in Europe. At the Oper Frankfurt, she performed a title role in Rossini's Bianca e Falliero. LifeBorn in Glasgow,[1] Taylor studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating as Master of Arts in 2018.[1] She has been coached by Jennifer Larmore.[2] She achieved first prize at the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award in 2018,[1][3] and third prize of the Wigmore Hall's competition.[2] She attended the Samling Institute for Young Artists in 2019.[4] Taylor appeared as Arnalta in Monteverdi's L’incoronazione di Poppea with the Longborough Festival Opera in 2018,[1][5] as Marcellina in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at the New Generation Festival in Florence[2] in 2019,[1] and as Bradamante in Handel's Alcina at the Opéra de Dijon and the Opéra national de Lorraine in Nancy in 2020.[1][2] Taylor appeared at the Oper Frankfurt first in 2021 as Dardano in Handel's Amadigi.[6] Her mezzo-soprano was the only lower voice, and a reviewer said that she portrayed her character with fine vocal lines and remarkable coloratura[7] She returned in 2022 as Falliero in Rossini's Bianca e Falliero, directed by Tilmann Köhler and conducted by Giuliano Carella. The work had been planned for 2020, and in collaboration with the Tirol Festival in Erl, to conclude a focus of Rossini's works.[8][9] A reviewer noted her full voice, with volume in the middle register, precise and flexible coloraturas, and dramatic outbursts, portraying the fall of the character from a victor in battle to giving himself up, in duets of great harmony with Heather Phillips as Bianca.[10] In concert, she has appeared with orchestras including the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Symphony Orchestra and La Cetra Baroque Orchestra.[2] In June 2023 Taylor was a finalist in the Cardiff Singer of the World competition.[11] References
