DeShong makes her LA Opera debut in Rossini's Barber of Seville
Feb. 28 - March 22, 2015
"In the role of Rosina, the young ward who is being forced into a marriage with the loathsome Dr. Bartolo, American Elizabeth DeShong sounds like a real mezzo with deep, rich tones at the bottom, a marvelous antidote to the run of mezzos who sound like sopranos with a cold. Short, with a mop of red hair – did I say "Lucy," though maybe it was a wig? – she pouted, made faces and was just so good. Did I mention that her top notes were as fresh and free of static as her low ones?" - Encore Michigan

"As a professional opera singer, I spend the majority of each year away from home. With luggage, camera, and scores in hand, I take off to different parts of the world to make music.
