The New York Times’, Anthony Tommasini describes today’s guest as “the shimmering soprano”. She enjoys singing everything from opera’s light lyric roles to oratorio to pops classics. A partial list of roles to her credit includes Juliette in Roméo et Juliette, Kathy in the Student Prince as well as roles in musical theater favorites like Sarah Brown in Guys and Dolls, Maria in West Side Story, Carrie in Carousel, Fiona in Brigadoon and Laurey in Oklahoma!
On the concert stage, she has performed a broad spectrum of works, including Mozart’s Coronation Mass and Requiem and Haydn’s Mass in Time of War with the New England Symphonic Ensemble at Carnegie Hall. Enthusiastic about contemporary works, she has been active in many new operas at the prestigious Banff Centre for the Arts and in 2015 she created the role of Ruth Draper in Icarus Rising, a new dance opera about the life of Lauro DeBosis.
It is my honor to introduce today’s guest, Kristen Plumley
