Canadian soprano Othalie Graham continues to receive acclaim throughout North America for her interpretations of the title roles in Turandot and Aida, as well as her commitment to the Wagnerian repertoire. Opera News describes her as “a vocally secure Turandot, her gleaming tones well suited to the ice princess’s misanthropic resolve.” Recently, she made her house debut at Palacio de Bellas Artes as Turandot and performed at a Gala concert in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico. Ms. Graham made her role debut as the Foreign Princess in Rusalka with Portland Opera and performed Ravel’s Shéhérazade, Isolde’s Liebestod with the Harrisburg Symphony, and Isolde Act 2 in concert with Orquesta Sinfónica de Xalapa.

 

Her notable performances include Freia in Das Rheingold with Nashville Opera, Turandot with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, and a Wagner Gala with the Vallejo Festival Orchestra. Additional performances include Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana with Vancouver Opera, the title role in Turandot with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the title role in Aida with Opera Carolina, Toledo Opera, and at the Teatro Greco di Siracusa, the title role in Ariadne auf Naxos with Festival Opera, covering Elektra at Teatro San Carlo Napoli, and Minnie in La Fanciulla del West with the Nashville and Indianapolis Operas.

 

Recent concert highlights include all-Wagner programs in Mexico City and Peru, and with the Washington Chorus at The Kennedy Center; Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with The Philadelphia Orchestra; Verdi’s Requiem with the Atlanta and Mississippi Symphonies; Serena in Porgy and Bess with Toledo Opera, Springfield Symphony Orchestra, and Jacksonville Symphony; Isolde in Tristan und Isolde in Croatia and with the Washington National Chorus at The Kennedy Center; and Britten’s War Requiem with the Fondazione Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi. Graham is a graduate of the prestigious Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia with an Operatic Diploma and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
