Louise Herrington, dramatic soprano, is a native of the home counties in England. Having studied voice privately, she went on the English National Opera 'Knack' performance course the first year it was run where she explored that an ample figure could still be moved in many different ways in performance, and size is not necessarily a hindrance.

Louise Herrington was born in Buckinghamshire to a predominately non-musical family. Having trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant, Louise started to study voice in October 1992 under Evelyn Nicholson through private lessons, and quickly developed into a spinto/dramatic soprano capable of ‘lifting off the roof’ when singing fortissimo. Louise was one of the first intake for the ENO 1 year performance program in 1995. She spent some time at the Mayer-Lissman Opera Centre in London studying the role of Cio-Cio San (Madam Butterfly). She has had the good fortune to be a soloist at many Sunday night concerts at various prestigious venues in the West End including The London Palladium & Royal Albert Hall and being the vocal coach to the main cast in three of these performances.
Comments made during her early singing career included:
‘considerable presence and atmosphere’ – Betty Roe
‘good performance with lots of strength and determination’ – Jean Pickett
‘a fine spinto soprano’ – Pamela Bowden
Louise then started to study with Annette Thompson for 18 months until her accounting career took her off round the world working for long periods of time. During this time, she met Delia Lindon who became a guiding light for Louise to re-connect with movement and using her body and shapes to full advantage when performing opera arias. Louise’s latest voice mentor is Diana Vivian, international dramatic soprano. Read more... |
