Mary Elizabeth Williams
Soprano
American soprano Mary Elizabeth Williams Season 2019-20 begins with her house and role debut at Vlaanderen Opera in the role of Elisabeth Don Carlos in the five-act French version of the opera. She returns to Welsh National Opera appearing with the WNO Orchestra in a series of concert performances themed A Journey to Vienna, celebrating some of Europe’s finest music. In her native USA she travels to Lyric Opera of Chicago for another house and role debut as Gutrune Götterdämmerung in the new Ring production by David Pountney, and at her home company, Florentine Opera, she sings Lady Macbeth Macbeth. To close the season Miss Williams returns to title role Aida at Cincinnati Opera in a new production to celebrate their 100th Anniversary Season.
“American soprano Mary Elizabeth Williams easily filled the house with her higher resister. The two female soloists with glorious woodwind accompaniment gave a sublime account of the “Recordare,” one of the quieter more subdued passages of the requiem.”
The Jerusalem Post, Irving Spitz, 14 July 2019
“Outstanding is Mary Elizabeth Williams’s Amelia, a morose, somewhat one-dimensional role with, though, rivetting, difficult, beautiful music over a big range, much exposed in the gallows scene here by placing her a good deal downstage with her back to the horrors. She never puts a foot wrong; this is wonderful Verdi singing.”
Stephen Walsh, The Arts Desk, 11 February 2019
