Sad news today. The utterly delightful, the sublimely talented soprano Dame Felicity Lott [known to all her friends by the affectionate nickname "Flott"] has traversed the proscenium arch for the last time, and joined the celestial choir of Fabulon.
Esteemed music critic Barry Millington in his obituary in The Guardian said she:
...enchanted audiences with a succession of Strauss and Mozart roles that she might have been born to sing. The mellifluous tone with just a hint of metal to give it that lustrous gleam, the effortlessly floated high notes, pin-sharp diction and captivating stage presence all combined to make her one of the most endearingly popular sopranos of her day.
I agree with every word. Here are just a few examples:
And finally - an old favourite:
RIP, Dame Felicity Ann Emwhyla Lott (8th May 1947 - 15th May 2026)
