Nadine Sierra
Soprano Nadine Sierra took on major operatic roles early in her career, winning several major awards and achieving substantial international popularity. She won the Beverly Sills Artists Award in 2018 and released her debut album, There's a Place for Us, that same year.
Sierra was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on May 14, 1988. Her father was a firefighter of Puerto Rican and Italian background; her mother, of Portuguese descent, was the daughter of a frustrated singer in Lisbon. After watching a video of a production of Puccini's La bohème, she conceived the ambition to become an opera star, and she began voice lessons at age six. She was accepted at 14 into the Young Artist Program at Florida's Palm Beach Opera and made her debut there, in Engelbert Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel, two years later. She attended the Mannes College of Music in New York and the Music Academy of the West, coming under the tutelage of Marilyn Horne at the latter, and she made a pair of appearances as a young prodigy on the National Public Radio program From the Top. Another significant early appearance came in 2009, when Sierra joined baritone Thomas Hampson in a duet performance in the chambers of the U.S. Supreme Court and its two opera-loving justices at the time, Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
After touring Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, and Japan in 2010 and 2011, Sierra began her operatic career in earnest. Among other appearances, she performed opposite Hampson once again in the world premiere of Christopher Theofanidis' Heart of a Soldier in 2012. She also made the first of several appearances as Gilda in Rigoletto with the Florida Grand Opera that year, reprising the role at La Scala in Milan in 2016. By that time, Sierra had begun to attract the attention of fashion magazines with her camera-friendly looks; she has appeared in Vogue and Nylon as well as Opera News. Maintaining a personal presence on social media, she has attracted fans as far away as Indonesia, where opera is little known. Sierra appeared as Ilia in the Metropolitan Opera's 2017 production of Mozart's Idomeneo, returning to the Met stage during the 2017-2018 season as Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro. Signed to Universal Music, she released her debut album, There's a Place for Us, in 2018; its program included an extremely diverse collection of works by Leonard Bernstein, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Ricky Ian Gordon, and others. Sierra returned in 2021 on the Puccini volume in Deutsche Grammophon's "Musical Moments" series, and the following year, she released the recital album Made for Opera.
