M.A.C. Concert: Megan Moore, Mezzo Soprano

The Music Advisory Council of the Port Washington Public Library welcomes Mezzo-Soprano Megan Moore to the Library for a special performance.

Lyric coloratura mezzo-soprano Megan Moore is quickly garnering attention as an artist of versatility and depth in the repertoire of Rossini, Handel, and Mozart. The Observer noted, “Megan Moore as Dorabella poured out rich, buttery mezzo tone, a genuinely beautiful voice” for her performances in Così fan tutte.

In the 2022-23 season, Ms. Moore will make her company debut at Opera Philadelphia covering both roles of Desdemona and Emilia in Rossini’s Otello with a cast that includes Lawrence Brownlee under the baton of Corrado Rovaris; participate in Plácido Domingo’s world-famous singing competition, Operalia, taking place in Riga, Latvia; make her role debut as Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro with Annapolis Opera; sing the title role in Gluck’s Orfeo with Orchestra of the Triangle; return to the role of Dorabella in Così fan tutte for her company debut at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis; and join Berkshire Opera Festival to make her role debut as Ruggiero in Alcina led by Gary Wedow. She will make recital appearances in Baltimore and New York City, in addition to a tour of several cities in Iowa and a recital at Ithaca College. Concert engagements include appearances at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall for Bach’s cantata Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind, BWV 153 and the Gaillard Center in December for the Charleston Symphony’s annual Holiday Pops! concert.

Ms. Moore is co-founder of Lynx Project, which amplifies diverse voices through new song commissions, inclusive concerts, and educational programming. Since its founding five years ago, Lynx Project has commissioned over four hours of new music through its Amplify Series, which sets texts by youth with non-verbal autism.

A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Ms. Moore received her training at Miami University, Eastman School of Music, Internationale Meistersinger Akademie, and The Juilliard School.
