Classical Voice - Advanced

Canadian soprano Othalie Graham continues to receive acclaim throughout the world and is known for her interpretations of the title roles in Turandot, Ariadne and Elektra and her commitment to Wagnerian repertoire.

Santuzza in Cavalleria rusticana with Vancouver Opera the title role in Turandot with the Detroit Symphony, Detroit Opera, Opera de Nuevo Leon in Monterrey, Arizona Opera, Gran Teatro Nacional del Peru, Teatro Cervantes Málaga Spain and Edmonton Opera. The title role in Aida with Opera Carolina, Toledo Opera, and at the Teatro Greco di
Siracusa; the title role in Ariadne auf Naxos with Festival Opera; covering Elektra at Teatro San
Carlo Napoli; and Minnie in La Fanciulla del West with the Nashville and Indianapolis Operas.
