Last but definitely not least was the beautifully delivered performance of Scottish lyric soprano Lisa Moffat as Juliet, in her debut with Red Earth Opera. Living in Devon, she is planning concerts in the South West which are definitely not to be missed including Strauss’ “Four Last Songs” with the Exeter Symphony Orchestra in Spring 2024. Her amazingly controlled and thoughtful interpretation of the lovely Juliet was both moving and thoroughly believable and her love story with Romeo came to life on the stage. (2023)

Lyric Soprano Lisa Moffat graduated from Huddersfield University with a music degree, before completing her postgraduate study at the The Royal Northern College of Music with Barbara Robotham. Receiving both a Dame Eva Turner Scholarship and a Marjorie Squires Bursary, she sang in both the Mozart and Schubert festivals, sang Ravel's Shéhérezade in the final of the concerto competition, and was a finalist of the Joyce and Michael Kennedy Prize for the Singing of Strauss.

Having gained acclaim for her stage and concert appearances, she has a love of performing music form baroque to premiering new music. Concert appearances include premiering work by Daniel Kidane, premiering work by Kenneth Hesketh with the RLPO's new music ensemble 10/10, Haydn's Nelson Mass, Beethoven and Mozart's Mass in C, Orff's Carmina Burana, and Handel's Messiah.
