Victoria McGrath
Soprano

Victoria McGrath is a versatile, dynamic artist who makes her home in opera, concerts, recitals, and new works. A passionate interpreter of contemporary and classical roles alike, Victoria has been praised for her expressive stage presence and crystalline voice. This season, McGrath made her house debut as an apprentice artist with Sarasota Opera, where she covered Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro under the baton of Louis Lohraseb, in addition to performing excerpts from Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, and operatic rarities by Bellini (La straniera) and Verdi (Aroldo). In May, she was awarded a Finalist Award from the Jensen Foundation. In June, she originated the role of Maria in the world premiere of Dan Asia's Tin Angel with Teatro Grattacielo. Critics unanimously praised Victoria's clear, fluid voice and performance that conveyed both emotional depth and vocal control.  
 
Victoria’s opera credits include L’elisir d’amore (Adina), La bohème (Musetta), Proving Up (Littler Daughter), Don Giovanni (Zerlina), Suor Angelica (Suor Genovieffa), and Die Zauberflöte (Pamina, Papagena, and 2nd Spirit). She has also performed excerpts from Carmen, Luisa Fernanda, Il viaggio a Reims, La fille du régiment, Le nozze di Figaro, and Die Fledermaus, among others.  
 
A lover of art song and an avid recitalist, she has collaborated with Baltimore Musicales, sung programs of Ukrainian songs with Aquilon Music Festival, curated recitals for Easton Art Academy and the Columbus Citizens Foundation, and performed French selections with the French Choir of Washington DC & the Choir of the Embassy of France, under the direction of Simon Charette. 
 
Ms. McGrath has received finalist awards from the Jensen Foundation and FAVA Grand Concours, in addition to competing as a semifinalist in Opera at Florham, the Camille Coloratura Awards, and MIOpera’s Competition. Victoria holds an MM in Opera Performance from the University of Maryland, and a BM in Vocal Performance and BA in History from Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Queens College, where she received a full tuition scholarship and graduated magna cum laude. She has studied Italian at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia and German at Freie Universität Berlin, NYU’s Deutsches Haus, and Musiktheater Bavaria. She studies with the world-renowned bass baritone Kevin Short.
