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 recital, opera, and concert at venues including the Opéra Royal de Versailles, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Palais de Beaux Arts, and Royal Albert Hall Elgar Room. 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. Recent performances in opera and oratorio include Esther (Esther) for Les Anges, Queen of Sheba (Solomon) for the Crosseny Festival, Nannetta (Falstaff) for the Fondation Royaumont, Norina (Don Pasquale) for the Rye Arts Festival, Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi) for Norwegian Opera’s Stage 2, and Cendrillon (Cendrillon) for the Tel Aviv-Yafo Opera Festival. Raised in Pasadena, California, Lauren is a graduate of Yale University, where she won the concerto and recital competitions, three academic prizes and the Sudler Prize for the Arts. She is also an alumnus of the Royal College of Music, London and was a member of the young artist programs of the Aldeburgh Festival, Aspen Music Festival, and Fondation Royaumont.
