Rachel chats to British-American mezzo-soprano Andrea Baker about growing up in a musical family, Wagner mega-fans and the stories of trailblazing African American women. The pair enjoy a Glasgow Distillery 1770, a Glen Scotia double sherry and Glen Scotia 15.
Andrea Baker is renowned for her distinctive voice, intense artistry, and passion. Her acclaimed interpretations range from Amneris in Aida, Fricka in Die Walküre and the title role in Carmen to Mescalina in Le Grand Macabre and Nen-Nen in Dominique Legendre’s world premiere of The Bird of Night.
