Praised for her high-level artistry, lyric soprano Kathleen Echols is having a successful season with classical, verismo, and contemporary opera. With Opera Vermont, she performed the role of Nedda in I Pagliacci. “As Nedda, Kathleen Echols evokes a nuanced tenderness from her brilliant soprano.” (The Rutland Herald). She also originated the role of Nancy Clutter in Truman and Nancy, “gorgeously delivering Zeffiro’s soaring vocal lines.” (The Barre-Montpelier Times Argus)
Recent engagements include a double-bill as Nedda in I Pagliacci and Zemfira in Aleko with Pacific Lyric Association and reprising her role of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with Off-Brand Opera.
This summer, Kathleen will sing the role of Suzel in L’amico Fritz with Teatro Grattacielo and Camerata Bardi Vocal Academy.
