Avery Amereau Tickets

Mezzo-soprano Avery Amereau has garnered much attention for the unique quality of her voice and sensitivity to interpretation. She has been praised by The New York Times as “sensual and achingly perfect" and "particularly excellent,” and by Opera Today as possessing “an effortlessly rich mezzo-soprano voice worthy of any professional stage in the industry, with charisma to match.”

Recent highlights include Olga in Eugene Onegin, and Mme. de la Haltière in Cendrillon at The Juilliard School, where she was also seen as the title in The Rape of Lucretia, a role that she covered at the Glyndebourne Festival Opera in Fiona Shaw’s acclaimed production. She also saw her role debut as Carmen the New York Opera Exchange. Recent concert engagements include the Duruflé Requiem with Voices of Ascension, an evening of Bach Cantatas with the Toledo Symphony, and Martin’s Golgotha with the New Amsterdam Singers.

Ms. Amereau fosters a love for historical performance, having performed under the batons of renowned early music conductors Helmut Rilling, William Christie, and Maasaki Suzuki. She debuted at the Bachfest Leipzig and the Boston Early Music Festival in an all-Bach tour with Juilliard and the Royal Academy of Music under Maestro Suzuki, of which The Boston Musical Intelligencer wrote, “mezzo-soprano Avery Amereau drew the drama from someplace deep within herself, the lowest notes a rich, enveloping curtain of clarity and undulating vibrato. Her sotto voce da capo was a moment of easy musical magic.” An avid recitalist, Ms. Amereau has performed recitals in New York, Florida, and Germany, which were broadcast on Bavarian Radio.

Future engagements include Carmen with Opera Columbus, Dritte Dame in Die Zauberflöte at Juilliard, and a return to Glyndebourne Festival Opera for her debut with the Festival. On the concert stage, she will sing Handel’s Messiah with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Paul McCreesh, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Santa Cruz Symphony, and a debut at the Spoleto Festival in Beethoven’s Choral Fantasie.

A native of Jupiter, Florida, Ms. Amereau received her Bachelor of Music degree at Mannes College, and her Master of Music degree at The Juilliard School studying under Edith Wiens. During the summers of 2011-2014, she studied at the Internationale Meistersinger Akademie, under the tutelage of Malcolm Martineau, Ann Murray, and John Fisher, among others. She is currently pursuing an Artist Diploma in Opera Studies at Juilliard, where she is a proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship.
