Awarded an OBE for services to opera in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2007, Rosalind Plowright is one of Britain’s leading opera singers. She has performed in virtually every major opera house in the world and the Newbury Spring Festival is thrilled to welcome Rosalind to the delightful setting of the Long Gallery where, accompanied by Philip Mountford, she will perform a selection of operatic arias and songs.
