“I love that Tina seems basic on the surface, but she’s actually multi-faceted both dramatically and musically,” Vuong said. In addition to the May recital, Vuong will also perform in Seattle Opera’s production of Flight, in the role of Tina. Then I went to Juilliard for the Artist Diploma of Opera Studies Program, followed by six years as a fest singer at Oper Frankfurt.” Vuong started training privately at age 16, and then earned a Bachelor’s in Music from UCLA. “After graduation, I was an inaugural member of LA Opera’s young artist program,” she said. “Coincidentally, I ended up singing the role of Mimi in the same production at LA Opera that had inspired me as a kid. She credits the availability of opera resources during her childhood with the inspiration to further explore music. “My gateway into the opera world was a cassette tape of Phantom of the Opera when I was 12 and attending an outreach performance of La Bohème by the Los Angeles Opera,” Vuong said. “I was really inspired by the music and enjoyed trying to sing operatically.”
This recital highlights an awareness of the challenges of the previous year. “My recital will focus on the theme of release, both musically and emotionally,” Vuong said. Live performances have halted during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, but that isn’t stopping the Seattle Opera from presenting work. Coming up in May, soprano Karen Vuong will perform at the Seattle Opera, and the streamed performance will be free to the public.Īlthough based in New York, Vuong is pleased to have this opportunity in Seattle. “It’s been really quiet due to the pandemic and I miss performing for an audience,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to sharing my favorite music with everyone again.”
