Kirsten Chambers is a fearless performer of Strauss and Wagner operatic heroines. She will present a diverse program featuring operatic arias by Mozart, Puccini, and Wagner, alongside Verdi oratorio, soaring Strauss art song, and beloved musical theater classics. Kirsten is most known for her portrayal of the title role of Salome, which she has sung at the Metropolitan Opera, Opera Hong Kong, Florida Grand Opera, and later this year San Diego Opera. She first joined the roster of the Metropolitan Opera as a cover of Isolde in Tristan und Isolde and later for Die Walküre and Wozzeck.

Her European debut was with the Savonlinna Opera Festival as Elsa in Lohengrin, a role she has since performed with Opéra de Rennes and the Hong Kong Arts Festival. From the dramatic depths of Wagner to the soaring melodies of Rodgers and Hammerstein, her recital promises to captivate audiences of all tastes. 

Performance is at the U. Tobe Recital Hall at FGCU, tickets are $15 for the public, $7 for students and available online: https://secure.touchnet.com/C20748_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=2666&SINGLESTORE=true
