Alexandra Roth, mezzo-soprano, is known for her versatile artistry, thriving in contemporary collaborations equally at home in the traditional operatic canon. Hailing from Princeton, NJ, Ms. Roth completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Oberlin Conservatory. While in Oberlin, Ms. Roth was highly sought by the composition department for her musicianship and willingness to be creative and take on challenges. Ms. Roth made her Oberlin Operatic debut in Our Own Lives, a world premiere opera by Christopher Dunn-Rankin. Other main stage Oberlin operatic credits include Dorothee in Massenet’s Cendrillon, Elle in Poulenc’s La voix humaine, and The Old Lady in Bernstein’s Candide. After graduating from Oberlin, Ms. Roth joined the young artist program at Center City Opera Theater in Philadelphia, PA.

In Philadelphia, Ms. Roth sang her first Cherubino in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Donna Rosa in the East Coast premiere of Daniel Catan’s Il Postino, and workshop-ed the role of Esther in the world premiere of Michael Ching’s Slaying the Dragon. This premiere production was also performed in Delaware in collaboration with Opera Delaware. Ms. Roth headed back to Princeton to sing Sesto in Handel’s Giulio Cesare with OperaMODO in July 2012.

Ms. Roth has participated in summer festivals in Nice, France, Songfest in Malibu, CA, and Opera on the Avalon in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Currently, Ms. Roth is preparing for a series of recitals in Iowa City, Iowa and is excited to have found a musical community in NYC through New York’s Opera Singers Initiative!
