Praised by The Wall Street Journal as “imposingly passionate,” Kelly Griffin brings her voice of considerable power and warmth to every role she embodies. This season, Ms. Griffin has garnered rave reviews as Leonore in Heartbeat Opera’s modern reimagining of Fidelio, touring the US at MetLiveArts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Mondavi Center, The Broad Stage, and The Scottsdale Performing Arts Center. She also proved her versatility with their innovative visual album, Breathing Free, highlighting music from Beethoven’s Fidelio and African-American spirituals. This season in new music, she appeared as Woman in the workshop performance of The Extinctionist by Daniel Schlosberg and Amanda Quaid. During the previous season, she was featured as the soprano soloist in Silas Farley’s American ballet, Songs from the Spirit, commissioned by MetLiveArts.
