The Balcony Scene Somewhere

Susan Bullock’s unique position as the world’s most sought-after British dramatic soprano was recognised with the award of a CBE in June 2014.

Renowned for her interpretations of strong operatic heroines, Susan adds to her repertoire with two contrasting role debuts this season: Minnie in English National Opera’s new production of The Girl of the Golden West; and Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd for Houston Grand Opera, which marks her first foray into music theatre.

One of today’s most distinguished Brünnhildes, Susan became the first soprano to sing the role in four consecutive cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen when she performed in the Royal Opera House Covent Garden’s production as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. She has sung this role at a range of international venues including Wiener Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Oper Frankfurt, Opera Australia, the New National Theatre, Tokyo, and Canadian Opera Company.
