Angela stars at Cincinnati Opera, Caramoor, Bravo! Vail and in Spain this summer

Angela, who earlier this month added Washington National Opera’s Artist of the Year honor to her 2012 Beverly Sills Artist Award and her 2011 Richard Tucker Award, is looking forward to a starry summer. The soprano portrays Donna Anna in the Cincinnati Opera production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni (June 13, 15), with Verdi performances to follow at the Caramoor International Music Festival in Katonah, NY (June 27, July 6), Bravo! Vail with the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin (July 13), and the Grand Tetons Music Festival under Donald Runnicles (July 26-27). Meade, whom the Baltimore Sun has called “the next great Verdian soprano,” also returns to the Festival Castell de Peralada in Spain this summer, where she will perform a recital centering on Verdi and Bellini with pianist Danielle Orlando (July 19) and to Portland’s SummerFest for a concert performance of Desdemona in Verdi’s Otello (August 2, 4).
