American soprano Alyson Cambridge is one of the most diverse and compelling vocal artists on the scene today. Her rich, lyrico-spinto soprano, combined with a striking stage presence and affecting musical and dramatic interpretation, have brought her nearly two decades of success on the world’s leading opera and concert stages including The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Vienna Konzerthaus, and Kennedy Center, to name a few. Her operatic repertoire includes the beloved heroines of Puccini, Verdi, and Mozart (Madama Butterfly, Mimi, and Donna Elvira frequently among them), as well as successful forays into “crossover,” Broadway, and jazz repertoire, including award-winning and critically acclaimed performances as Julie in Show Boat, Vi in Gershwin’s rarely performed jazz-opera Blue Monday, and her most recent Broadway debut in Rocktopia. Alyson’s debut classical album, From the Diary of Sally Hemings, a classical song-cycle by acclaimed American composer William Bolcom, premiered in concert at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall to rave reviews. Her second album, Until Now, a mix of jazz, pop, and musical theater standards, was released in January 2016 on the Naxos imprint Suite 28 Records.
