Quickly gaining attention as a lyric coloratura soprano with exceptional bel canto technique, Aubry Ballarò most recently reprised the role of Gilda in Rigoletto with Opera in the Park Portland, and will make several house and role debuts this season including Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail with Opera Grand Rapids, Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte with The Princeton Festival, and Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor with Columbus Symphony. 

Ms. Ballarò made her international debut as the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor with State Opera Stara Zagora and subsequently, joined The Princeton Festival to sing the role of Madame Herz in their production of Mozart’s The Impresario. In 2023, Aubry returned to State Opera Stara Zagora to debut Violetta in La Traviata, and debuted the role of Gilda in Rigoletto with Opera Columbus later that month. Under the baton of Steven Mercurio, she has appeared twice at the Festival de Musique de Saint Barthélemy, singing Micaëla in their 2020 production of Carmen, and popular operatic selections in their 2021 concert with orchestra. 

Ms. Ballarò is a recent graduate of the Academy of Vocal Arts, where she was seen performing roles such as Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Musetta in La bohème, Juliette in Roméo et Juliette, and Oscar in Un ballo in maschera.
