About this person

Dame Felicity Ann Emwhyla Lott was an English soprano, among the leading voices in operas by Mozart and Richard Strauss and operettas by Jacques Offenbach. Her first signature role was the Countess in Capriccio, the last opera by Strauss, on the Glyndebourne Festival's tour in 1976. She appeared with the company in every season until 1990, also in 20th-century operas: as Helena in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Anne in Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress and Elle in Poulenc's La Voix humaine. She portrayed the Countess in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, including for her first performance on stage in the United States at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 1987, and the title role of Offenbach's La belle Hélène at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
