Mezzo-Soprano Kristin Patterson
made her operatic debut as Willie in Street Scene, followed by both
Mercedes and Frasquita in Carmen, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro
and Nedda in Pagliacci. She was cast as Flora in La Traviata,
Musetta in La Boheme, the Third Lady in Die Zauberflote, Dorabella
in Cosi fan tutte and Berta in The Barber of Seville. Later
appearances found the mezzo-soprano as The Mother in Amahl and the Night
Visitors as well as Suzuki in Madama Butterfly. Ms. Patterson
was honored to be chosen as an Apprentice Artist with Des Moines Metro Opera
and recently debuted in the leading role with company as Miss Baggott in The
Little Sweep by Benjamin Britten.
In 2007 Ms. Patterson
toured Italy in a concert production by Il Sempre Magico Baule, the Italian
Opera Company based near Milan. Her performances were so successful that
she was called back to perform the Pergolesi Stabat Mater with the
company which garnered the highest critical acclaim and played to sold out
audiences. Ms. Patterson returned to her scenes of triumph for a summer
2008 concert tour with La Scala artist Andrea Alena.
The mezzo was first recognized as a youngster with an
extraordinary voice. By thirteen, she had developed to a performance
level that merited an invitation to tour, as soloist, throughout Germany.
Following High School graduation, Ms. Patterson received a full scholarship to
attend Oberlin Conservatory. She completed her Bachelor of Music Degree
in Voice Performance at Oberlin and then obtained a Master of Music Degree from
San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
