Louise Alder & Joseph Middleton

10 December 2025

Soprano Louise Alder returns to Garsington Opera for a recital with renowned pianist Joseph Middleton. Joseph is widely regarded as one of the most exceptional pianists of his generation and is renowned for his song accompaniment and he collaborates with many of the world’s foremost singers, being described by the New York Times as “the perfect accompanist”. Louise was last on the Garsington stage as Pamina Die Zauberflöte in 2018 and has since gone on to delight audiences worldwide, most recently as Countess Almaviva Le nozze di Figaro at Glyndebourne this summer. Louise sings at the last night of the BBC Proms this summer and makes her Metropolitan Opera debut in November.

If you would like to stay for dinner afterwards, the Studios Café will be serving a hot main course followed by dessert, with a glass of house wine for £35 per person. Spaces for dinner are limited and tend to sell out so early booking is advised.
