Matinee Musicale Isabel Leonard, mezzo-soprano

“One of the brightest talents on the American opera scene to emerge in the new millennium.”

Jason Victor Serinus, nationally published music critic, 2021

 Isabel Leonard continues to thrill audiences both in the opera house and on the concert stage. In repertoire that spans from Vivaldi to Mozart to Nico Muhly, she has performed at prominent international venues such as the Vienna State Opera, Paris Opera, Salzburg Festival, Carnegie Hall, Glyndebourne Festival, Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Aix-en-Provence Festival, Metropolitan Opera, and Lyric Opera of Chicago, among others.  Her roles include Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Angelina in La Cenerentola, Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro, Dorabella in Così fan tutte, Charlotte in Werther, Blanche de la Force in Dialogues des Carmélites, Costanza in Griselda, the title roles in La Périchole and Der Rosenkavalier, as well as Sesto in both Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito and Handel’s Giulio Cesare, and Musetta in La bohème.

She has appeared with some of the foremost conductors of her time: Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Seiji Ozawa, Gustavo Dudamel, James Levine, James Conlon, Marin Alsop, Sir Andrew Davis, and Michael Tilson Thomas with the Vienna Philharmonic and major orchestras throughout the U.S.

Ms. Leonard, in constant demand as a recitalist, is on the Board of Trustees at Carnegie Hall and the Artistic Advisory Board of ArtSmart. She is a multiple Grammy Award winner. Television and film appearances include Sesame Street and host for The Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD movie theater transmissions.

Ms. Leonard is the recipient of the Richard Tucker Award and has lent her voice, in honor of her father who died from the disease, to the Prostate Cancer Foundation by filming a public service announcement (PSA).
