Dame Sarah Connolly live in Snape

Experience Dame Sarah Connolly live on June 26th

Dame Sarah Connolly is a highly acclaimed English mezzo-soprano, internationally recognised for her interpretations of Baroque and classical repertoire, particularly the works of Handel and Mozart. Her performances are noted for their dramatic depth, vocal control, and expressive phrasing, extending to encompass English song cycles and 20th/21st-century compositions. She frequently appears in opera houses and concert halls worldwide.

The concert will take place at Snape Maltings, a renowned arts complex situated in Suffolk, United Kingdom. Originally built as a 19th-century malt house for converting barley into malt for brewing, the site was transformed in the mid-20th century by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. They sought a dedicated performance space for opera and chamber music, leading to the conversion of the existing buildings and construction of the iconic Concert Hall which opened in 1967.

Snape Maltings is now a centre for music, art and heritage, hosting a diverse programme of events throughout the year. The complex retains much of its original industrial character while functioning as a significant cultural venue with strong links to both classical music performance and education. The acoustics of the Concert Hall are particularly celebrated within the musical community.
