Coloratura soprano Elizabeth Queen is known for her dynamic singing and her commanding stage presence. In her appearance as Königin Der Nacht in Prague Summer Nights Festival’s production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, OperaWire’s review praised her “tremendous presence” on stage, describing her coloratura singing as “…sharp as the dagger she forced into Pamina’s hands.” In addition to multiple performances as Königin der Nacht, Queen has held the roles of Drusilla (L’incoronazione di Poppea), Die Erste Zofe (Der Zwerg), Le Feu (L’enfant et les sortilèges), Frasquita (Carmen), and Gianetta (L’elisir d’amore) with Numi Opera Theatre, Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, Santa Monica Opera Theatre, and the Bob Cole Opera Institute. Elizabeth was the winner of the California Women’s Chorus’s Vocal Competition in 2017, and was the recipient of the Emerging Artist Award from the Long Beach Camerata Singers in 2020. She will be making her second appearance with IU Opera Theatre as Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore this coming spring. Elizabeth is currently pursuing a Master of Music in Voice at the Jacobs School of Music, under the tutelage of Carol Vaness. Elizabeth hails from Montrose, California.
