LA OPERA
Kathleen Kelly, PIANO
One of the most exciting voices in opera today, Jamie Barton brings her powerhouse mezzo-soprano and magnetic stage presence to The Wallis for an intimate recital. Fresh from acclaimed performances at the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, and other leading houses worldwide, she has been called “the latest darling of the American opera scene” by the LA Times — and with good reason. Praised by Gramophone for possessing “the sort of instrument you could listen to all day,” Barton combines vocal richness with an unforced warmth and immediacy that makes every song feel direct and personal.
This is a rare chance to experience one of opera’s most compelling stars up close, where power meets intimacy and every phrase feels lived in.
