Elizabeth Barron
Lyrico Spinto |
|
Elizabeth Barron is a Lyrico Spinto who is making her mark on
the American opera stages. Her Italianate sound and dramatic abilities
are bringing delight to audiences in various venues.
Of her portrayal as Elisabetta in Verdi’s Don Carlo with
Boston Bel Canto Opera, Lloyd Schwartz, Pulitzer-prize-winning critic
of the Boston Globe, said, " Her limpid voice and elegant pianissimos
enhanced her image as a demure and vulnerable pawn (especially in
her exquisite moments of nostalgia for her beloved France). In her
final aria, 'Tu Che le vanita,' I was touched by both her helplessness
and by her dignity, her moral outrage at the world's vanities."
Ms. Barron will be appearing again with Boston Bel Canto Opera
this fall, as Cio-cio-san in Madama Butterfly. Ms. Barron is making
her debut with Center City Opera as Norma, and is also engaged by
Center City Opera to sing the role of Desdemona in Verdi’s
Othello this summer.
Ms. Barron is a native of Chicago but currently makes her home
in New York City, and she has been heard there in such roles as
Mimi in La Boheme, Giorgietta in Puccini’s Il Tabarro, and
Micaela in Carmen.
