Lydia Brotherton
Lydia Brotherton, soprano, received her B.A. in music with honors from Brown University, and her honors thesis was published as a winner of the prestigious University Prize. Now residing in the Boston area, Ms. Brotherton is working towards an M.Mus. in Historical Performance from Boston University. She has sung under Martin Pearlman in performances of Bach’s Wedding Cantata and in the title role of Eccles’s rarely heard opera Semele, and performed with Blue Heron, the Boston Camerata, Sprezzatura, and Exultemus. Ms. Brotherton recently toured Australia and New Zealand with the Boston Camerata and the Tero Saarinen Dance Company in Borrowed Light, for which her part was praised as being “familiar yet fresh, exquisitely sung” (Dominion Post, NZ). Upcoming engagements include performances at the Connecticut Early Music Festival and roles in the Boston Early Music Festival Chamber Opera productions of Blow’s Venus & Adonis and Charpentier’s Actéon.
