Anita Watson

Australian/British Opera Singer

Watson is another singer I believe I was hearing for the first time and if tonight’s performance is anything to go by then I hope to hear much more of her in the future. Hers was one of the best assumptions of the soprano role in The Kingdom that I have heard, whether live or on CD.
