Biography

Kelsey Lauritano

Lauritano is currently a first year Ensemble member at Oper Frankfurt, one of Europe’s leading opera houses, where she was recently promoted from the Opernstudio. In the upcoming season she will appear in three main stage premieres. As Mrs. Nolan in Menotti’s The Medium, as the Alto Soloist in a staged version of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, and as the Mezzo-soprano soloist in Nur wer die Sehnsucht Kennt, a staged Tchaikovsky Liederabend by director Christof Loy. She will also perform the role of The Musician in a revival of Àlex Ollé’s celebrated production of Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. Unfortunately, due to Coronavirus regulations, Lauritano is unable to make her Oper Frankfurt debuts as Cherubino in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and as Fragoletto in a new production of Offenbach’s Die Banditen. Last season Lauritano appeared at Oper Frankfurt as Emilia in Rossini’s Otello, a shared production directed by Damiano Michieletto with Theater an der Wien, as the Fischverkäuferin / Dritter Herr / Handleser in Martinů’s Julietta, and Giovanna in Verdi’s Rigoletto. In the winter, Lauritano made her Oregon Symphony debut singing and acting the role of Ariel in a new adaption of Sibelius/Shakespeare’s The Tempest and her Austrian debut with Tiroler Festspiele Erl as the Third Wood Nymph in a new production of Dvořák's Rusalka. Unfortunately due to the COVID lockdown in March, she was unable to make her role debut as the Fox in Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Oper Frankfurt and her return to Erl to sing the Wirtstochter in the new production of Humperdinck’s Königskinder.
