American soprano Alexandra LoBianco, whom the Seattle Times exclaimed, “gave an impassioned performance” as the title role in Aida at Seattle Opera, has established herself as a dramatic soprano of unequaled versatility, musicality and consistency. In the 2023-2024 season, Ms. LoBianco will open the Seattle Symphony’s season, singing Brünnhilde’s Immolation Scene in Götterdämmerung, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with Inland Northwest Opera, and in concert, Verdi’s Requiem with the Madison Symphony.

Recent seasons have included Brünnhilde in Die Walküre at Seattle Opera, Marianne Leitmetzerin in Die Rosenkavalier at the Metropolitan Opera, Alice Ford in Falstaff with the Santa Fe Opera, the Mother in Hansel and Gretel at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Foreign Princess in Rusalka at the Canadian Opera Company, the title role in Turandot with Palm Beach Opera and Maryland Lyric Opera, Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana with Seattle Opera, the title role in Tosca with Seattle Opera and Portland Opera, Leonore in Fidelio and Brünnhilde in Siegfried with North Carolina Opera, Fata Morgana in The Love for Three Oranges with Des Moines Metro Opera, and finally, the Overseer and Confidante in Elektra at the Metropolitan Opera, as well as the cover of Aida.

Operatic highlights of previous seasons have included Leonore in Fidelio with the Wiener Staatsoper, Chrysothemis and the Fourth Maid in Elektra as well as Helmwige at Lyric Opera of Chicago, the title role in Tosca at both North Carolina Opera and Minnesota Opera, the title role in Aida at Opera Colorado, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni at Seattle Opera, Miss Jessel in The Turn of the Screw at Dallas Opera, Amelia in Un ballo in maschera at Florida Grand Opera, and the prima donna in Ariadne auf Naxos at Austin Opera. At Des Moines Metro Opera, Ms. LoBianco has performed the title role in Turandot and Minnie in La fanciulla del West. Of her Turandot, Opera Today wrote, “Alexandra LoBianco is well remembered here for her feisty Minnie in a recent season. If Fanciulla is a Big Sing for the soprano, Princess Turandot is a Big Sing on Steroids… Ms. LoBianco is short of physical stature, but makes up for it with potent spinto vocalizing that has its own towering presence.”

Additional repertoire includes Sieglinde in Die Walküre, Leonora in Il trovatore, the title roles in Suor Angelica and Madama Butterfly, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Mimì in La bohème, Magda Sorel in Menotti’s The Consul and Brünnhilde in Jonathan Dove’s abridged Ring Cycle. She made her European debut singing at a Viva Verdi concert in Zürich, under the direction of Lotfi Mansouri. A native of Saint Petersburg, Florida, Alexandra LoBianco received her education in voice, theater, and clarinet, and currently resides in Chicago, where she trains the next generation of opera singers and advocates for music education.
