Mezzo-soprano Jennifer Holloway is a fast-rising star in the opera world, and she’ll be in Madison for Opera in the Park on July 25th. Jennifer is currently performing at the Glyndebourne Festival as Meg Page in Falstaff, and she also appeared at the renowned festival as Hansel in Hansel und Gretel. Her 2008/2009 season included performances as Dorabella in Cosi fan Tutte in Brest, France, with the Ensemble Matheus under Jean-Christophe Spinosi, Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro with Dallas Opera, and Diane in the new production of Hippolyte et Aricie under Emmanuelle Haïm in Toulouse.

Read this 2008 article on Jennifer in Opera News and check out the video below of her performance in a stunning production of Handel’s Tamerlano at the Teatro Real in Madrid (she’s Irene, the one on the blue elephant, and her aria starts around the 3 minute mark).

Baritone Timothy Kuhn will be singing at Opera in the Park on July 25, 2009. Lucky for us, he has quite a few videos on YouTube from a concert performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, led by superstar conductor Gustavo Dudamel of all people. Enjoy, and don’t miss Tim singing the Don at OITP!
