In the 2019/2020 season, Ms. Sorenson will be featured in her first season as a Chorister at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, associate member of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, ensemble at Chicago Opera Theater and will be reprising her role in the ensemble quartet and understudy for Old Lady in The Knight’s Orchestra’s production of Bernstein’s Candide at the Ravinia Music Festival. In previous Chicago seasons, Emma sang the role of Stasi in her debut with Chicago Folk's Operetta in their production of The Csardas Princess, covered the role of Laura in Chicago Opera Theater’s production of Tchaikovsky’s Iolantha, played Jill All Alone in the Gilbert & Sullivan Company of Chicago’s Merrie England, and Isabelle Eberhardt in Chicago Fringe Opera's critically acclaimed production of Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar: the Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt. Critics praised Emma as a "striking and graceful presence, [she] sang with an attractive, flexible voice and brought strong dramatic engagement throughout, from Isabelle’s joy at discovering Islam, to her pain and anger at a lover’s betrayal, and solace and resignation at her death." Ms. Sorenson recently returned to Boston Lyric Opera to perform the role of “Girl” & ensemble work in their critically acclaimed production of The Handmaid’s Tale, which Margaret Attwood attended. Ms. Sorenson is a graduate of the Boston Lyric Opera’s Emerging Artist program.
