Isabel was most recently seen this March in the premiere of Umbra by Elliot Menard at Highways Performance Space in Los Angeles. Invested in shaping the future of opera through new works, she originated the roles of WIND and The Bird in the world premiere of Iceland by O-Lan Jones with Overtone Industries at La MaMa in New York City. As an undergraduate, she had the privilege of working directly with composer William Bolcom while performing the role of Ms. Alden in his opera Dinner at Eight.
Originally inspired to pursue opera after exposure to bel canto, Isabel found great joy in performing the role of Adina in L’elisir d’amore twice: first with the Mediterranean Opera Festival, and later with the Jerusalem Lyric Opera and the Ashdod Symphony. Her other traditional roles include Suor Genovieffa in Suor Angelica, Mary Hildebrand in Street Scene, and Miss Jessel (cover) in The Turn of the Screw, all with Mannes Opera. She also studied Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro for the Trentino Music Festival.
A lover of art song and an expressive recitalist, Isabel produced a solo NYC recital in 2022 titled Connection in Solitude, featuring repertoire that reflected the collective experience of the pandemic. Her recital work includes appearances with the Mannes Sounds Festival and performances of Schumann’s iconic Liederkreis Op. 39 and Frauenliebe und leben, as well as Poulenc’s Fiançailles pour rire and La courte paille. Additionally, Isabel made her debut with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra in an opera gala, and was a finalist in the Jerusalem Lyric Opera Competition radio broadcast.
Isabel holds a Master of Music from Mannes School of Music and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Michigan. When not singing or teaching, she can often be found hiking and rock climbing and is currently developing outdoor performances and recordings sung in nature, utilizing the natural acoustics of rock formations.
