Mezzo-soprano Megan Steiner has been hailed by the LA Times for her “rich mezzo-soprano” and “wondrously convincing theatrical flair” as well as by Opera Today for her “plummy mezzo-soprano that can convey the sound of pain absorbed.” Her rich vocal quality and powerful stage presence have earned her roles including the title role of Carmen, Herodias (Salome), Azucena (Il trovatore), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Romeo (I Capuleti e i Montecchi), and Hänsel (Hänsel und Gretel). In recent seasons, she has performed roles at regional companies across the United States, including Livermore Valley Opera, Central City Opera, Fargo-Moorhead Opera, Pacific Opera Project, Pittsburgh Festival Opera, and Opera Project Columbus. Her concert repertoire has boasted a wide array of musical tastes, such as the mezzo-soprano solo in Rossini’s Messa di Gloria, the soloist in Berio’s Folk Songs, and as Carmen in the Carmen Symphony. Upcoming performances for Ms. Steiner include a house debut with Opera San Luis Obispo as well as a debut with the Cascade Symphony as the mezzo-soprano soloist in the Verdi Requiem.
