Chelsea Lehnea, Soprano

Hailed for her "warm, agile and full voice", soprano Chelsea Lehnea is quickly establishing herself as exciting young artist equally at home on both the concert and opera stage. A 2016 alumna of the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Singer Program, Ms. Lehnea made her Washington National Opera debut as Sister Catherine in Francesca Zambello's 2017 production of Dead Man Walking. In the winter of 2018, she joined the roster of Sarasota Opera to both perform Frasquita in Carmen and cover Adalgisa in Norma. She also made her New York debut with her initial exploration of the title role of Lucia di Lammermoor, performing excerpts from the opera under the aegis of the Metropolitan Opera Guild. Future commitments include Ms. Lehnea's company debuts with St. Petersburg Opera (Florida) during the autumn of 2018, as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni as well as with Bel Cantanti Opera singing Euridice in Orfeo ed Euridice.
