Italian-American soprano Lauren Libaw has been praised for her sparkling, “bright-toned” voice (New York Times) as well as her “warmth of tone and intensity of expression” (The New Yorker). She sings internationally in opera, concert and recital at venues including the Opéra Royal de Versailles, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Palais de Beaux Arts, and Royal Albert Hall Elgar Room. Recent and upcoming opera roles include Norina, Adina, Lauretta, Zerlina, Susanna, Gretel, Constance, and Semele. A “masterful and affecting” recitalist (operawire.com), Lauren does not limit herself to any one style on the recital stage, often programming music from the Great American Songbook, Broadway, French chanson and Yiddish theater traditions alongside classical repertoire. Lauren is a graduate of the Royal College of Music, London, and of Yale University, where she won the concerto and recital competitions, three academic prizes and the Sudler Prize for the Arts. She was a member of the young artist programs of the Aldeburgh Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and Fondation Royaumont. She lives with her family in Paris.
