About this event
Jamie Barton brings her mezzo-soprano voice to The Wallis for an intimate recital accompanied by pianist Kathleen Kelly. Barton, the first woman to win both the Main Prize and the Song Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, has performed at the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, and other leading houses worldwide. The LA Times has called her "the latest darling of the American opera scene," and Gramophone has praised her for possessing "the sort of instrument you could listen to all day." The recital is presented as part of the LA Opera series at The Wallis within the venue’s 2026/2027 season. The program is described as a mix of opera standards and contemporary classics, though specific repertoire has not been announced. In the intimate Bram Goldsmith Theater, audiences can experience Barton's warmth, immediacy, and richness up close. Kathleen Kelly, Barton's longtime recital partner, joins her for this collaboration.
