Michelle Bradley, a graduate of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, is beginning to garner great acclaim as one of today’s most promising Verdi sopranos.

This season Ms. Bradley debuts with the San Francisco Opera as Madame Lidoine in Dialogues des Carmélites and returns to the Metropolitan Opera as the title-role in Aida, a role she will also perform for the Fort Worth Opera. She will return to the San Diego Opera as the title-role in Tosca and will debut in Japan as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center. In concert Ms. Bradley will sing the soprano soloists in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Eva Ollikainen at the Hollywood Bowl and in Verdi’s Messa da Requiem with the Baltimore Symphony and James Conlon. Future projects include a return to the Lyric Opera of Chicago in a leading role.
