Overview
Nardus Williams, winner of the Rising Talent award at the 2022 International Opera Awards, dives headlong into the world of the Four Humours, physical properties believed to govern human behaviour from ancient times until the 1850s. Her programme encompasses monodies by Settimia Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, among the first women to forge successful careers in music.
