Lisa Saffer (born June 3, 1960) is a soprano singer of opera, particularly Bach, Handel and modern works.
Her voice has been described as "Her silvery, brainy vocalism was world-class throughout and in the last celebratory aria, she brought the house down, rocketing off coloratura with flourish and showing off a splendid high C." (The Boston Globe,[full citation needed] when she performed Cleopatra in Handel's Giulio Cesare).
[2] Her career has led to acclaim for her interpretation of contemporary scores and as well as Bach, Handel and other baroque music.
[7] Her performances of classical works have included Handel's Messiah with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream with the New York Philharmonic.
[2] In May 2003 she received the Singer Award from the Royal Philharmonic Society in recognition of her performance in live classical music in the UK.
