CBC Music: Isabel Leonard, opera’s new ‘it girl’
Isabel Leonard Wins Richard Tucker Award
Isabel Leonard has won this year’s Richard Tucker Award, given annually to a promising American opera singer. The award, which was created by the Richard Tucker Foundation in 1978, consists of a cash prize of $30,000 and a concert appearance.
The award comes less than a week after Leonard made her debut at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall, and just three weeks before she is to appear as Blanche in the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Poulenc’s LesDialogues des Carmelites. More
Critical acclaim for Isabel’s debut as Sesto at Canadian Opera Company
Isabel impresses critics and audiences alike in her role debut as Sesto in “La Clemenza di Tito” at Canadian Opera Company. Robert Harris of The Globe and Mail writes: “Isabel Leonard has a pure, expressive voice, but is also a fine actress, both vocally and on stage, and her Sesto transfigured the dynamics of the production every time she assumed centre stage. Her “Parto, parto”, one of the opera’s most famous arias, was riveting, as was her confrontation with Tito in Act 2.” Read more reviews
