Soprano ARIADNE GREIF, praised for her “luminous, expressive voice,” “searing top notes,” and “dusky depths,” (NYTimes), enjoyed a casual child career as a “boy” soprano at the LA Opera, eventually making an adult debut singing Lutoslawski’s Chantefleurs et Chantefables with the American Symphony Orchestra. She starred in operas ranging from Donizetti’s Elixir of Love with The Orlando Philharmonic, to Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tirésias at the Aldeburgh Festival, and Atthis, by G.F. Haas, which the NY Times called “a vehicle for Ms. Greif’s raw, no-holds-barred performance,” and “one of the most searingly painful and revealing operatic performances in recent times.” Recent projects included performances at Den Norske Opera with William Kentridge of the Dada masterpiece Ursonate, a “spine-chilling” recital in Australia presented by Sydney Chamber Opera and Resonant Bodies, collaborations with The Knights, Gabe Kahane, Lukas Ligeti, and performances of Carmina Burana, La Bohème, The Magic Flute, Beethoven Symphony No. 9, Mozart Requiem, Mozart Vespers K.231, and Babbit’s A Solo Requiem. ariadnegreif.com
