Kelly Kaduce is a soprano with a warm and rich voice, stunning beauty, and superb acting ability. For her creation of the title role in Anna Karenina, Opera News proclaimed her "an exceptional actress whose performance was as finely modulated dramatically as it was musically... and her dark, focused sound was lusty and lyrical one moment, tender and floating the next." For her Boston Lyric Opera debut in the title role of Thaïs, Opera News observed, "Kaduce sings with bell-like purity and silvery sweetness, and she suspends her legato with an effortless, sensual spin. A born actress, Kaduce is also a masterful illuminator of text." |

 “US soprano Kelly Kaduce’s performance as Cio-Cio-San, or Madam Butterfly, was both convincing and undeniably a stand-out. The strength and energy in her voice was striking, inspiring goose bumps at times, and her vocal range projected the intricacy of emotions required to build an unbreakable connection between her character and the audience.Kaduce’s abilities as an actress, infused with a range of energies from soft and delicate to overpowering and dramatic, further strengthened her role and made it near-impossible for the audience to take their eyes off her, as well as garnering the desired empathy.” — Perth Sunday Times

 Under the inspirational artistic direction of Colin Graham, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis enjoyed a reputation for fostering new work and young artists. Just before he died, in 2007, Graham adapted Tolstoy's novel (combining both the Levin and Anna narrative strands) for this skilful and effective opera, composed by David Carlson in a late romantic idiom somewhere between Puccini and Barber. |
