Nadine Sierra
Nadine Sierra has sung with the world’s greatest opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Paris Opera, Berlin State Opera, and San Francisco Opera, where she got her start as an Adler Fellow. Originally announced with a different program, this recital now features a selection of beloved operatic arias—from Donizetti, Mozart, and Puccini—followed by a vibrant exploration of music from the Americas, including works by Rodrigo, Villa-Lobos, Velázquez, Ponce, Mendoza y Cortés, and Giménez. Please note that the program is subject to change.
