Alison Bolshoi, soprano |

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up September 2009 "[She] also pleased the audience by her dramatization and convincing expression in the difficult passage, and was amazingly impressive in a contrasting discourse with the oboe in the beautiful Miserere. In the third act aria of Amelia from the same opera, she enthralled us by her heartfelt piano solo, accompanied by the cello solo, adding even more to her wide dynamic range, and her concept of the acting was excellent. In the trio from Act II of Don Giovanni by the divine Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, her outstanding soprano surpassed the bass and baritone with the highest forcibility." American dramatic soprano Alison Bolshoi fulfills the Wagner and Verdi repertoire with a vocal radiance and lyricism seldom heard in large voices. This past summer Ms. Bolshoi returned to the Cesky-Krumlov Festival as Foreign Princess in Dvorak’s Rusalka, a year after receiving critical acclaim as soprano soloist at that festival's Opening Gala Concert with the Prague Symphony. Also in 2008, Ms. Bolshoi appeared as the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier with the Huntsville Symphony under Carlos Miguel Prieto. In 2006 Ms. Bolshoi gave a concert as part of the Bach to Bartok Festival with the Accademia Pianistica, in Imola, Italy. In 2005 she sang Leonore in a concert performance of Fidelio with One World Symphony, NY, and the same year was the soprano soloist for the Alfredo Silipigni Memorial Concert with the New Jersey State Opera at NJPAC. In 2004, Ms. Bolshoi made her debut at La Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona in a concert featuring excerpts from Strauss' Guntram, Reyer's Sigurd, and Schillings' Mona Lisa. Ms. Bolshoi also recently joined the roster of The San Francisco Opera to cover Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer. Ms. Bolshoi has sung many complete staged performances of Sieglinde, the Die Walküre Brünnhilde, and the Siegfried Brünnhilde, with the Wagner Festival Orchestra in New York, conducted by David Gilbert. She has also taken part in concerts with the company, singing the Senta/Dutchman duet and Brünnhilde from Götterdämmerung Act I. Ms. Bolshoi won the Liederkranz International Competition 2006, Wagner Section, and is receiving sponsorship by The American Wagner Association, NY, and The Wagner Association of America, Chicago. Ms. Bolshoi is also a winner of the Gerda Lissner Foundation Award, 2004; as well as generous grants from The Wagner Society of New York in 2002, 2004 and 2007. Ms. Bolshoi's background includes a degree in Theatre/Film and several years work as both a Shakespearean actress and musical theatre performer. She is a former student of Herbert Berghof Studios and Uta Hagen. |
