Filipina-American soprano Kelsey Watts is a Binghamton University graduate with degrees in Opera, Vocal Performance, and Chemistry. She has performed with Tri-Cities Opera, Syracuse Opera, Delaware Valley Opera, and the BU Opera Ensemble in roles including Clorinda (Rossini’s La Cenerentola), Pamina (Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte), Gilda (Verdi’s Rigoletto), and Gretel (Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel). Her penchant for contemporary works has led to her performances in Jorge Sosa’s I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams and Leif Haley's Prunella, though her fondest experience was in self-producing a performance of Jake Heggie’s Another Sunrise paired with a collection of songs written during, in response to, and by victims of the Holocaust.
