Next season, she will appear with the English National Opera as Marguerite in Des McAnuff’s new production of Faust, the Madison Opera as the Countess in Le Nozze di Figaro, and debut with the Bavarian Radio Symphony in concert performances and recording of excerpts of Gordon Getty’s opera, Plump Jack, to be conducted by Ulf Shirmer.
Elsewhere, Ms. Moore has performed Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni at Lincoln Theatre in Napa Valley, the title role in Suor Angelica for the Opera Theatre and Musical Festival of Lucca, Italy, and the Governess in Britten's The Turn of the Screw in Napa Valley.
