Jennifer Black

Lyric soprano Jennifer Black is “gleaming and glorious, with wonderful nuances of light and shade and complete dynamic control.” (Santa Fe New Mexican) This season Black can be seen as Merilee the Giantess in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Fallen Giant with American Lyric Theatre and as soprano soloist for Strauss’ Four Last Songs with Ridgefield Symphony, Arnod’s Tristan und Isolde with Chamber Orchestra of San Antonio, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with Phoenix Symphony. She also returns to The Metropolitan Opera for their production of Jenufa.
