ELAINE DAIBER

Heralded for her “spectacular vocalism” (Hudson Housatonic Arts) soprano Elaine Daiber’s “golden voice, which roams from below the staff to atmospheric heights with ease,” has garnered much acclaim on the operatic, concert and recital stages. This past summer, Daiber joined the Bard Music Festival in a recital celebrating composer Erich Korngold with pianist Kayo Iwama and appeared with the New York Festival of Song (NYFOS) as an Emerging Artist in NYFOS@NorthFork for the concert, “Ports of Call.” In the 2019/2020 season, engagements include role debuts as Ilia in Mozart’s Idomeneo in Boston’s Jordan Hall and Lady in Waiting in Britten’s Gloriana with Odyssey Opera, as well as concert performances of Hindemith’s Das Marienleben with pianist Miles Fellenberg, soprano soloist in Bach’s Magnificat with Counterpoint Concerts in Chattanooga, TN, and a Boston Symphony Orchestra Prelude Concert of Helen Grime’s Bright Travellers. Highlights from the 18/19 season include the role of Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, conducted by Robert Tweten, soprano soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana and Dvorak’s Te Deum with Symphony Pro Musica, two residencies with Collaborative Arts Ensemble, and the principal role of Dede in a new production of Leonard Bernstein’s A Quiet Place at the Tanglewood Music Center. A graduate of the Bard Conservatory Vocal Arts Program, she is currently pursuing an Artist Diploma in Opera Studies at the New England Conservatory, where she studies with Bradley Williams.
