*Due to scheduling, Melody Moore will not be present at the Open Rehearsal.
Acclaimed for her "remarkably controlled voice that goes from meltingly soft to the height of emotion and projection without strain" by San Francisco Classical Voice, Bay Area soprano Melody Moore joins Music Director Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg for an evening of Schubet, Bach, and Mendelssohn.
Ms. Moore, one of America’s exciting new talents, is slated to portray Susan Rescorla in the world premiere of Christopher Theofanidis’ Heart of a Soldier at San Francisco Opera in the Fall of 2011. Recently critically acclaimed performances include two appearances with English National Opera -- as Mimi in Jonathan Miller’s new production of La Bohème and as Marguerite in Des McAnuff’s new production of Faust. Of her performances with the English National Opera, The Independent wrote, “This young lady is special. She has a distinctive dark complexion to her voice and she sings and phrases with real fantasy. She alone really filled the house and hearing the voice open to greet the coming spring in her act one aria was for sure one of the high spots of the evening.” An acclaimed Mimi, Ms. Moore has also performed the role with San Francisco Opera and Opera Cleveland. She has also appeared with Los Angeles Opera as the Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, and in their productions of Der Zwerg and Der Zerbrochene Krug. Elsewhere, she has appeared with the New Orleans Opera as Manon Lescaut, Orlando Opera in the title role in Suor Angelica, and the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra as Donna Anna. She is a 2007 Adler Fellow and former Merola Opera Program participant.
