Charlotte de Rothschild is an internationally renowned lyric soprano who specialises in Oratorio and the Art of Song – whether this is Lieder, Chanson, Folk, Art Song or Kakyoku (Japanese classical Western-style songs). She sings in 17 languages and was hailed as a pioneer in Japan, being one of the first foreigners to have recorded a complete CD of beautiful Japanese songs (“Nihon no tabiji - A Japanese Journey”).

Charlotte has a particularly interesting and unusual approach in tailoring her recital programmes to specific themes: the best known is the "Family Connections" programme and CD in which all the songs are by composers who were either friends, teachers, or ancestors of her family during the last two hundred years.
