Siviglia/Scottish Opera
Sir Thomas is lucky
to have a bright star of a Rosina, Karen Cargill.
This young singer has the unbeatable combination of dramatic tone,
sonorous mezzo range, zippy coloratura, varied colourings and, to top
it all, real acting talent.

..she brings a
welcome touch of international class, handling her weighty voice with
