Camilla Harris is a British soprano, fast establishing herself in the opera world. Camilla and I were at university together, so it was lovely to meet her in March at her house in London and talk to her after a long time.
Among the topics we talked about included: Camilla’s journey into music, the importance of her training as a chorister, training at college and during the COVID-19 pandemic, recital programmes (including Camilla’s debut recital disc Chère Nuit available on Linn Records), favourite composers, and taking recordings with a pinch of salt.
Camilla is currently singing the role of Helena in Britten’s opera A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Garsington Opera. She’ll be reprising the role in a performance at the BBC Proms in September and with Opera North in the autumn.
