Biography
Malinda Wagstaff is a warmhearted soprano with a promising voice and elegant stage presence. In 2025, Malinda performed with Opera Bend in their "High Desert Melodies" concert of emerging artists. She also performed as the titular role in Puccini's "Tosca" for the Seattle Opera Guild in their season preview event. In the 2024 season, Ms. Wagstaff was featured as the soprano soloist for both Vaughan Williams's "A Sea Symphony" and Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Spokane Symphony. She will also perform as Medora in Verdi's "Il Corsaro" with Puget Sound Concert Opera. Previously, Malinda completed her master’s degree at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music under the tutelage of Carol Vaness. At IU, Malinda has performed as Mutter in "Hänsel und Gretel" and First Lady in “Die Zauberflöte” and in the ensembles of “Falstaff” and “La Rondine.” In Carol Vaness’s Opera Workshop, she performed the role of Manon in act two of “Manon Lescaut.” Malinda earned her bachelor’s degree with high distinction from the Eastman School of Music with an Arts Leadership Certificate. While at Eastman, she prepared the role of Beggar Woman in “Sweeney Todd” (cancelled due to Covid-19). She also performed as Angel More in “The Mother of Us All” with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and La Chouette in “L’enfant et les Sortilèges” with Eastman Opera Theatre. Malinda has participated in the Prague Summer Nights Festival, Harrower Summer Opera Festival, and the Mediterranean Opera Studio Festival. Recent awards include the Bel Canto Prize in the Orpheus Competition, a first prize award at Musicfest, encouragement awards from the Metropolitan Opera Laffont's Washington, Oregon, and Nebraska Districts, first prize in the Seattle Opera Guild Competition, and a first prize award in the Coeur d'Alene Symphony Orchestra's Young Artist Competition.
