Noted for her dramatic vocal ability, as well as her commitment to baroque performance, Lieberson worked closely with the OAE at Glyndebourne and on CD, and was the inspiration for the Orchestra's series Queens, Heroines and Ladykillers, celebrating feisty female roles in opera and the singers who perform them. This final tribute concert features the Handel arias Lieberson was revered for, performed by three rising young opera stars Stéphanie d'Oustrac, Anna Stephany and Renata Pokupi? and conducted by baroque specialist William Christie.
