Olivia Prendergast
Soprano Olivia Prendergast has been lauded for her “poised” and “silvery-voiced” tone (Opera Today). In the upcoming season, Ms. Prendergast will make her debut with Opera Philadelphia singing Delia in Il viaggio a Reims. In 2024-2025, she performed as Nina in Christopher Helsop’s jazz opera, The Bear Prince, with Berks Opera Company. She sang as the guest soprano soloist in Carmina Burana with the DeSales University Choir and Orchestra and in the premiere of Cinema Concert Experience with Symphony21. Earlier that season, Ms. Prendergast joined three-time Grammy-winning ensemble The Crossing and the Boston Symphony Orchestra as a soloist for Gabriela Ortiz’ Revolución diamantina.
In the 2023-2024 season, Prendergast covered the title role in La Calisto with the Glimmerglass Festival and joined Opera Theatre of St. Louis as a Gerdine Young Artist, where she covered Cleopatra in Julius Caesar and went on for Marie de’Medici in Galileo Galilei. She also made her debut singing Pamina in Livermore Valley Opera’s outreach production of The Magic Flute and sang as the soprano soloist with the Mercersburg Symphony Orchestra for their spring concert. During her two seasons with the Merola Opera Program in 2022 and 2023, she performed as Lucia in The Rape of Lucretia and sang First Spirit and Papagena (cover) in Die Zauberflöte.
Particularly passionate about modern works, Ms. Prendergast recently premiered the role of Joan of Arc in Graciela Carríqui’s chamber work In Her Own Words: Joan of Arc Speaks. She has also appeared as a soloist with the East Passyunk Opera Project, The Crossing, the Bloomington Bach Cantata Project, and Indiana’s HPI Concentus Ensemble.
On the competition circuit, Ms. Prendergast was a semifinalist in the Annapolis Vocal Competition in 2025. She won second place in the Midwest Region of the Laffont Competition in 2023, after winning the St. Louis and Tennessee Districts in 2023 and 2022. She also received the Director’s Award from the James Toland Vocal Competition.
Ms. Prendergast holds a performance diploma and a Master of Music from Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, and a Bachelor of Music from Northwestern University. Operatic credits include Margarita Xirgu (Ainadamar), Romilda (Xerxes), Lisette (La Rondine), Lisa (Dog Days), Adele (Die Fledermaus) and Flora (The Turn of the Screw). She also sang as a soloist in Jaeger’s Letters Made with Gold, Reich’s Tehillim, Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de confessore, Telemann’s Die Dönner-Ode, and Schütz’ Weihnachts-Historie.
Olivia values genuine, beautiful, and honest connection in her music making. No matter what she is performing, she hopes audiences will feel the vulnerability and love which she gives to her craft.
