About Ava Pine
|
Soprano Ava Pine has been recognized for both her vocalism and commitment to character in works ranging from Baroque to Contemporary. A frequent interpreter of early music, Ms. Pine is an acclaimed performer of Handel, including the roles of Romilda in Xerxes, Morgana in Alcina, Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare and Melissa in Amadigi di Gaula. Equally at home with new music, she made her European debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, as The Angel in the operatic setting of Angels in America, and sang Blanca in the world premiere of Rio de Sangre with Florentine Opera. Other operatic roles include Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, Adina in L'elisir d'amore, and Norina in Don Pasquale. Ava has sung with opera companies, symphonies and early music ensembles across the United States, notably Dallas Opera, National Symphony Orchestra, Boston Baroque, Michigan Opera Theatre, Arizona Opera, Fort Worth Opera, Wolf Trap Opera and at St. Thomas Episcopal Fifth Avenue. She was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2011 in the Best Opera Recording category for her work in Hasse's Marc'Antonio e Cleopatra.
