EPISODE 27: American soprano Alyson Cambridge is one of the most diverse and compelling vocal artists on the scene today. She is praised for her “powerful, clear voice” by The New York Times, hailed by critics for her “radiant, vocally assured, dramatically subtle and artistically imaginative” performances (Washington Post), and celebrated for her “sultry and seductive readings” (Opera News). Combined with a striking stage presence and affecting musical and dramatic interpretation, she has two decades of success on the world’s leading opera and concert stages, including The Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, Washington National Opera at The Kennedy Center, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Los Angeles Opera, Glimmerglass Festival, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, and New York's Broadway Theatre, to name a few. Her operatic repertoire includes the beloved heroines of Puccini, Verdi, and Mozart (Madama Butterfly, Mimi in La Bohème and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni frequently among them), as well as her signature title roles of Carmen and Bess in Porgy and Bess. She has also made successful forays into the Broadway and jazz worlds, most notably with award-winning and critically-acclaimed performances as Julie in Show Boat, Vi in Gershwin’s rarely performed jazz-opera Blue Monday, and her 2018 Broadway debut in Rocktopia. She also has released three acclaimed classical and jazz albums, From the Diary of Sally Hemings and Until Now, respectively. Her most recent album, “Sisters In Song”, is a unique compilation of opera, art songs, and African-American spiritual duets with fellow soprano Nicole Cabell, and was an Opera News 'Critic's Choice' for 2019. alysoncambridge.com
