American soprano Nadine Sierra has been tipped as the new face of opera after stealing the spotlight at the world's top opera houses and in the pages of Vogue. At just 29, she's already had her curtain call at the Met, La Scala, Berlin and Paris State Operas.
She’s breathing new life into the Paris opera season, starring in Cavalli's "Elio-gabalo" and Mozart's "The Magic Flute". Following her breakout Met debut as Gilda in "Rigoletto", Nadine Sierra joins us on Encore to talk about reprising the role in Paris.

Seeing her at the MET last week was spellbinding, her beauty is only enhanced by her talent... Brava!!

[@robsmith2523]

Nadine Sierra’s is one of this generation’s finest young sopranos and seems to light up the stage whenever she is singing. Sierra’s coloratura is effortless and her voice has a lovely fluidity. Opera Magazine Readers’ 2023 Award was presented to American soprano Nadine Sierra, in the only award of the evening voted for by the public.

Just 29 years old??? Very gifted singer!!! She must have a fairy godmother!!...

4:00 "Opera not appropriate for a young lady" Yes indeed, ballet and opera was closely associated with vice. When the king of Italy (1861-78) Victor Emanuel visited Britain, he attended the ballet with the Prince of Wales (future Edward VII) and enquired how much one of the young girls charged. The gentlemen in the box informed him of the cost and he dejectedly said he couldn't afford it. At which point Prince Edward patted his arm and said, "Have this one on me".

I am so glad for her. Very nice voice 💖 amazing technique

[@Iluminacion32]

Extraordinary interview! Great couple of women each one in her expertise!

[@MrVblecic]

Dear Nadine, thank YOU for ALL your work! Namaste

[@madoulamadou]

Wonderful singer, Nadine Sierra ! The 8 000 people in the Théâtre Antique in Orange for Rigoletto were enthusiastic ! I was one of them....

[@MrFabricio2973]

I had the pleasure to see you with the Florida grand opera in Fort Lauderdale you were amazing and still are many more great years of success

[@yfzhou8074]

Absolutely amazing!

[@robsmith2523]

Nadine Sierra needs to be singing at the Kennedy Center!!!!!!!!!!!

[@103-azareelalcarazpastor6]

Bravo!!! Meravigliosa!

[@r.zimmerman3838]

Lmao. She's the hottest soprano hitting the stages. You should try reporting on the weather. At least when you blow a call then, people won't consider you a fool. How many Sopranos hit an Eb like Sierra can...while she's dying! But, thanks for your opinions 👍

[@susanfalconedaquino3623]

Great attitude!

[@artdanks]

Beautiful voice. Wonderful technique and well produced. Don't be afraid to use more chest voice in your lower range. Particularly in Caro Nome, could use more chest. But you truly are very gifted.

[@jean-pauljoly2368]

Exceptionnelle Nadine Sierra.!

[@Marx-xl5xt]

She could be a great Amina from La Sonnambula or Rosina, I wonder what roles she's thinking for her future...

[@ChezFeroce]

I WANNA SEE HER DO ROSINA!

[@kiaraeijo]

@@ChezFeroce Rosina is mostly a Mezzo Soprano Role

[@ChezFeroce]

@@kiaraeijo I think Pretty Yende and Lisette Oropesa have been the ones singing it the most lately.

[@kiaraeijo]

@@ChezFeroce I think Pretty Yende did it like in 2017; I haven’t Lisette Oropesa sing Rosina

[@ChezFeroce]

@@kiaraeijo Lisette did it in Spain. Also idk a well known mezzo with a name like Lisette and Pretty that has done it recently. Maybe no name mezzos but not world class mezzos. Joyce doesn’t do it anymore and Isabel doesn’t do a lot of Rossini

[@ernistinedebeer8556]

🙏👌🤩💐💐💐💐💐💐👌what a LADY! VOICE! Devoted; hardworking opera singer. Caro nome ..on top there with Anna Moffo; Montserrat Cabbale; Kiri te Kanava; Lucia Pop etc.👌💐

[@susanfalconedaquino3623]

Hard work! Amen!

[@ernlwjr2]

Brava, Nadine!!!

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Have you learned to leap from one building to another yet? Vogue-ish 'K' plays?

[@classicalhero7]

She obviously practices 40 hours a day.

[@samcotten2416]

Good for her for making it into the opera business as young as she did, just as all light lyric sopranos who are going to make it must do - I sure hope she’s not so ruined by feminism that she actually believes she’s still going to be singing when she’s Leo Nucci’s age.

[@JK-xz6mj]

Gilda is horrid...

[@ChezFeroce]

the mics of that news station were terrible for taking her voice. Watch a suggested video in your recommended feed or look up her caro nome in the search :)

[@samcotten2416]

I wonder if she even realizes that she would never have existed had her grandmother not listened to her grandfather

[@nancydrew5]

Your point?

[@carlitobrigante2360]

Les Français détestent parler une langue autre que la leur. Et en particulier la haine parle anglais

[@bretterb2174]

Just no Renee Fleming

[@sutherlandfan64]

Dullness personified...

[@flyingface]

she's 29 for christ's sake. give her some time
