NSUC is thrilled to announce that Susanna Phillips, soprano extraordinaire, will be the final offering of our 2010-11 Concert Series.
Assisted by pianist, Yasuko Oura, she will offer songs about the Tudor Queens by John Dowland, Ernest Chausson, Robert Schumann and Libby Larson. Absolutely not to be missed.
The Alabama native has attracted special recognition for a voice of striking beauty and sophistication. Recipient of the Metropolitan Opera’s 2010 Beverly Sills Artist Award, she appears at the Met this season as Pamina in Julie Taymor’s celebrated production of The Magic Flute, and as Musetta in La Bohème, the role with which she made her debut in 2008. She also portrays Musetta on the Met’s Japan tour in June in a cast that includes Anna Netrebko and Joseph Calleja. This past summer she was a featured artist in the Met’s Summer Recital Series in Central Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park, and a resident artist at the Marlboro Music Festival. She will sing the title role in Donezetti’s Lucia Di Lamermoor this coming season at Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Her 2010–2011 season also includes Euridice in Minnesota Opera’s Orfeo ed Euridice with David Daniels. Additionally in opera she performs her first staged Lucia di Lammermoor with Opera Birmingham, and sings Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Boston Lyric Opera. Concert highlights include the Marilyn Horne Foundation gala at Carnegie Hall, Jeptha with New York’s celebrated Sacred Music in a Sacred Space, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with the Santa Barbara Symphony, and solo recitals in Chicago, IL, Huntsville, AL, and Jackson, MS.
Last season, Susanna Phillips returned to the Met as Pamina with conductor Bernard Labadie. Following her Baltimore Symphony debut under Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Sun proclaimed, “She’s the real deal.” Susanna Phillips also appeared with the Lyric Opera of Chicago as Adina in L’elisir d’amore, and with Opera Birmingham as the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro. In May, she garnered rave reviews for her debut at the Fort Worth Opera Festival as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni.
