Hailed as “opera royalty” and “one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of her generation” (OperaWire), Grammy Award-winning J’Nai Bridges is a powerhouse of vocal artistry.
Celebrated for her mesmerizing portrayal of Nefertiti in Philip Glass’ Akhnaten at the Metropolitan Opera and as a definitive Carmen on two continents, Bridges captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice and commanding stage presence.
In addition to her standout appearances on opera stages and with symphony orchestras (including the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2024 in Berlioz’ Romeo et Juliette), Bridges is a rising star in the recital world. Experience her extraordinary voice in its purest form: hear every shade of color, every nuance of phrasing, and every depth of emotion.
Esteemed pianist Mark Markham, best known for his twenty-year partnership with legendary soprano Jessye Norman, joins Bridges.
Be transported by the pure vocal artistry of the magnificent J’Nai Bridges in this all-French program.
“Her voice is a rich blanket of plush sound, capacious and flexible, with a panoply of colors and weights.”
