Ronnita Miller
The Witch

Grammy-nominated mezzo-soprano Ronnita Miller enjoys a richly varied 2023-2024 season. In the fall, Ms. Miller returns to Lyric Opera of Chicago as the Marquise de Birkenfeld in La fille du régiment, followed by continued performances of Ella in X: The Life and Times of Malcom X with Seattle Opera. On the concert stage, she joins the Rotterdam Philharmonic on tour for Die Walküre, singing Grimgerde under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Additionally, she joins the New World Symphony for Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and the Tucson Symphony for Verdi’s Requiem.  

  

In the summer of 2022, Ronnita Miller joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic as Schwertleite in Die Walküre at the Hollywood Bowl. That autumn began with a return to San Francisco Opera as Filippyevna in Eugene Onegin, before reprising the role of Ella in X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X with Opera Omaha. Later in the season, she returned to Atlanta Opera as Erda in Das Rheingold. In concert, she appeared twice during the season at Carnegie Hall: with the American Symphony Orchestra as Gaea in Strauss' Daphne, and with Oberlin College as the mezzo soloist for Dett’s The Ordering of Moses. She also sang her first career performance of Handel's Messiah with the Indianapolis Symphony. 

  

During the 2021-2022 season, Ms. Miller performed with The Metropolitan Opera as Big Stone in Matthew Aucoin’s Eurydice, and the Detroit Opera (formerly Michigan Opera Theater) as Ella in a new production of X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X, a role she also performed and recorded with Boston Modern Opera Project (2023 Grammy nominee for Best Opera Recording.) She also joined the San Diego Symphony and North Carolina Symphony for Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, and appeared in recital with New World Symphony. Ms. Miller’s 2020-2021 season saw performances at The Atlanta Opera and Deutsche Oper Berlin, and in the summer of 2021 she curated a recital titled What the Heart Desires with tenor Nicholas Phan for the Merola Festival.
