Alison Bolshoi fulfills the Wagner and Verdi repertoire with a vocal radiance and lyricism seldom heard in dramatic voices. Her insightful interpretation and consequent communication of each character make her presence onstage a mesmerizing experience.
Ms. Bolshoi joined the roster of San Francisco Opera covering Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer. She made her debut at La Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona in a concert featuring excerpts from Strauss’ Guntram, Reyer’s Sigurd, and Schillings’ Mona Lisa. In addition, she has sung the role of the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier with the Huntsville Symphony (AL) and concerts with the Bach to Bartok Festival with the Accademia Pianistica, Imola (Italy), Leonore in Fidelio with One World Symphony in NY and was the soprano soloist for the Alfredo Silipigni Memorial Concert with the New Jersey State Opera at NJPAC. Ms. Bolshoi has performed multiple stagings of Sieglinde in Die Walküre and Brünnhilde in Siegfried with the Wagner Festival Orchestra of NY. Additional concerts with the company have included the Senta/Holländer duet from Der Fliegende Holländer and Brünnhilde (Acts I and III) from Götterdämmerung.
