Quickly gaining attention for her “solid technique and heroic timbre” (Opera Today), lyric coloratura soprano Aubry Ballarò continues to build an international profile with notable debuts across Europe, Asia, and the United States.

In the 2025–2026 season, Ms. Ballarò makes her Asian debut as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor with Musica Viva Hong Kong, marking an important milestone in her growing global career. She begins the season as Micaëla in Carmen with Opera in the Park Portland and the soprano soloist in Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder with the Chautauqua Symphony. Later in the season, she debuts with Portland Opera as Musetta in La Bohème, performs Stravinsky’s Pulcinella with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, and returns to Opera Columbus in a co-production with the Columbus Symphony as Violetta in La Traviata and with the symphony as the soprano soloist in Orff’s Trionfo di Afrodite.

Internationally, Ms. Ballarò made her Spanish debut in a solo gala with the RTV Slovenia Orchestra at the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid. She first came to European attention with her debut as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor at State Opera Stara Zagora in Bulgaria, a company to which she later returned as Violetta in their 2023 production of La Traviata. In 2024, she debuted with the Sofia Philharmonic as the soprano soloist in Mozart’s Requiem.

In the United States, recent highlights include her role debuts as Adina in L’elisir d’amore with Opera Grand Rapids, Gilda in Rigoletto with Opera Columbus, and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte with The Princeton Festival. She has also been heard as Madame Herz in Mozart’s The Impresario with The Princeton Festival and as the soprano soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Columbus Symphony.

Ms. Ballarò is recognized for both her “deep lyric color with unflagging flexibility” and her expressive interpretations. With an expanding repertoire that bridges bel canto, lyric roles, and concert works, she continues to establish herself as a versatile and compelling artist on international stages.
