The US-born soprano Roberta Alexander has been awarded the Edison Klassiek prize, the most prestigious Dutch classical music award, for her lifetime achievements.

Roberta, who studied at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 1969 to 1971, made her debut at Dutch National Opera in 1975 in La cambiale di matrimonio. She went on to appear in all of the world’s great opera houses and continues to perform major roles.

She has also just changed agents, joining Interartists Amsterdam for general management.
