*Takesha Meshe Kizart is “blasting star quality all over the stage with her stunning voice and sensational good looks” (Opera News). Star of the feature film The Verdian Voice, and laureate of numerous international competitions, she is rapidly being hailed as the next great Verdian Voice of her generation.

The New York Times describes her singing as “powerful, lustrous, silky, caramel-hued, wielding impressive ease and elegant control” and critics worldwide are praising her visually and vocally-compelling performances. Kizart’s versatile body of work already includes leading operatic heroines of the bel canto, verisimo, and contemporary eras.

Her musical roots run deep. A performer since the age of two, the Chicago native counts music legends McKinley “Muddy Waters” Morganfield and Tina Turner among her relations. Judging by her current ascent, this young and dazzling talented vocal artist is destined for greatness on the lyric stage and beyond.
