TEA WITH NETTY #55: Mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor 16 August 2024

Mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor joins Netty in the dressing rooms of Glyndebourne, who plays Cornelia in Handel's production of Giulio Cesare. They discuss voice production, singing in physically demanding roles, forestry, and everything in between.

Born and raised in Glasgow, Beth unravels the unforeseen path that led her to the world of music and singing, and how she built a strong musical foundation for herself in remarkable ways. She delves into the behind-the-scenes of opera, sharing her experience of developing her voice and offering valuable insight that can encourage us all, particularly the next generation.

Tea with Netty is the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s podcast hosted by viola player Annette Isserlis (Netty). Over a cuppa (or something a little stronger…), Netty chats with a variety of conductors, players and other guests as she ‘spills the tea’ on the side of classical music you don’t normally hear.
