Megan Moore, mezzo-soprano, with Francesco Barfoed
Sunday, March 30, 2025, 3:00 pm, Sleepy Hollow High School Auditorium, Sleepy Hollow, NY
We are thrilled to have Megan Moore open our spring season. In 2024, she had a busy opera season, appearing as Donna Elvira in “Don Giovanni” with San Diego Opera, as Rosina in “The Barber of Seville” with Seattle Opera and as Sesto in “Julius Caesar” with Opera Theater of Saint Louis. She also performed in several New York-area recitals. She is acclaimed for her Rossini interpretations, “elegant vocal gymnastics,” and “rapid-fire coloratura.” Besides Rosina, another of Moore’s signature roles is the title role in “La Cenerentola.” When she appeared as Doraballa in “Così fan tutte” at Juilliard, OperaWire praised her “undeniable sex appeal” and “strength as an actress.”
Her collaborator, pianist Francesco Barfoed, seems to like accompanying singers, since he and Moore won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in 2020 and he won again in 2022 with baritone Joseph Parrish, whom we presented last season. Moore and Barfoed also won first prize in the Copenhagen Lied-Duo Competition and second prize at the Naumberg Foundation International Vocal Competition.
