Allison's story is one of vocal brilliance, bold choices, and boundary-breaking artistry. From her early debut with the New York City Opera as Musetta in La Bohème after the Metropolitan Opera National Council Finals, to singing leading roles across the country, she has been celebrated for her “vocal agility, lush sound, and dramatic portrayals.” But her impact extends far beyond the opera stage.
In this episode, Allison shares her journey from Carnegie Hall to performing with the Lviv National Philharmonic in the midst of war, and how her personal mission to elevate unheard voices through projects like Forgotten Voices, Her/Music; Her/Story, and PREFORMANCES™️ has shaped her legacy as both a performer and advocate.
We explore the making of her critically acclaimed debut solo album ALIKE (My Mother’s Dream), which topped classical charts on iTunes and Billboard, and was named one of Spotify’s Best Classical Releases of 2025. Allison also reflects on navigating a virtual stage during the pandemic, launching her OPERAS IN SHORT series, and what it means to stay creatively fearless in a rapidly changing musical world.
Whether you’re a music lover, opera enthusiast, or creative spirit, this episode offers deep insight into the voice, vision, and vocation of one of classical music’s most dynamic artists.
