Mezzo-soprano Fenlon Lamb consistently garners
critical acclaim for her "dynamic, rich vocal sound"
and "polished acting abilities." For example, her role
debut of Rosina (Barbiere di Siviglia) with Sacramento
Opera received critical rave: "...every inch the saucy
rebel [who] navigated the highly ornamented passages
with creamy ease." The Baltimore Sun applauded her
Agrippina: "In the title role, Fenlon Lamb revealed a
bright, flexible voice, ever-brilliant phrasing and
theatrical flourish."

This season Ms. Lamb will make her Seattle Opera debut
and returns to Sacramento Opera. Previous engagements
have included a concert tour in Asia and appearances
with the Mississippi and Granite State Opera
companies, Opera Vivente, Opera Grand Rapids and Opera
Cleveland, Lyric Opera Cleveland, the Cleveland
Orchestra, Apollo's Fire, as well as the Hartford,
Toledo, Akron, Loyola, Santa Cruz Symphony Orchestras.
