WORLD-RENOWNED SINGERS

Larisa Martinez has established a strong and unique presence in the classical performance world. Having performed with opera titan Andrea Bocelli as his principal soprano on a world tour, she also won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Audition PR district 2016, receiving the Angel Ramos Foundation Award and Audience Prize.She earned raved reviews as Musetta in Loft Opera’s critically acclaimed production of La Bohéme and for her other leading roles in Verdi’s Rigoletto, Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, Rossini’s Adina, Floyd’s Susannah, and Donizetti’s Don Pasquale and Lucia di Lammermoor.

Heralded by the New York Times as an “ardent tenor,” Carlton Moe performed as Ubaldo Piangi in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera, the longest running show on Broadway. His opera credits include Lakmé (Gerald), I Capuletti e I Montecchi (Tebaldo), The Mother of Us All (John Adams), Ernest Bloch’s Macbeth (Malcolm), and Roméo et Juliette (Tybalt), and he was a soloist in major works such as Verdi’s Requiem, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, Mozart’s Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah.
