Vocalist - Mezzo-Soprano
About
| Expert at all music genres from the Baroque era to contemporary work, mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer has performed with American Bach Soloists, New York Collegium, Early Music New York, the Rebel Ensemble, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, and the Boston Pops and has given world premieres of music by John Zorn, Nico Muhly, Bernard Rands, Elliot Carter, and the Bang on a Can artists. Her recent performance in the multi-media opera premiere at The Kitchen in Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar, composed for her and the NOW Ensemble, prompted reviewers to hail her as "riveting" (New York Times), and to remark upon her "throbbing low register and open-hearted performing style" (Wall Street Journal). For her portrayal of Cherubino in the American premiere of Mercadante's I Due Figaro with Amore Opera, critics described her as "delicious" (Opera News) and "nothing short of stunning" (Stage Magazine).
