Ann Murray, DBE is an Irish mezzo-soprano. She was born on August 27, 1949 in Dublin. She studied with Frederick Cox at the Royal Manchester College of Music and made her stage debut as Alcestis in Christoph Willibald Gluck's Alceste in 1974. She has since sung at all major opera houses and is highly acclaimed in works by George Frideric Handel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Richard Strauss.
Ms. Murray performs mainly at Covent Garden (where she perfomed as Siphare in Mitridate Rè di Ponto), the English National Opera, and the Bavarian State Opera (where she was named their Kammersängerin in 1998).
