Captivating mezzo Niamh O'Sullivan is joined by Gary Beecher to close our Feel Good Festival.
Irish mezzo-soprano Niamh O’Sullivan is a rapidly rising star on the international stage, praised as being ‘the owner of one of the most sheerly beautiful lyric mezzos…in some time' (Opera Traveller). In the last seasons and beyond O’Sullivan makes a series of high profile debuts in Europe and the United States.
Gary Beecher is one of Ireland’s most versatile pianists, with a varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, accompanist, vocal coach, orchestral pianist, musical director and educator. Gary is passionate about collaborating with singers and he has recorded and performed as a soloist with both the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and RTÉ Concert Orchestra and has also performed with Camerata Ireland & Southbank Sinfonia London as an orchestral pianist.
O’Sullivan is the owner of one of the most sheerly beautiful lyric mezzos I’ve had the pleasure of hearing in some time. The voice has wonderful sheen, with a ruby red exterior enveloping a creamy core. The tessitura of the role held no terrors for her, taking wing effortlessly on top. Opera Traveller, May 2025
