American soprano Angela Meade made her professional operatic debut on the Met stage in 2008, stepping in for an ill colleague to sing Elvira in Verdi’s Ernani. Since then she has become known for excelling in the most demanding heroines of the 19th-century bel canto repertoire, and the operas of Verdi and Mozart, receiving such accolades as Washington National Opera’s 2013 Artist of the Year. Returns to the Met have included the title roles in Norma and Sir David McVicar’s new Anna Bolena, and as the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro. Highlights of recent seasons include Semiramide and Mefistofele at the MET, Norma and Ermione at San Carlo in Naples, Aida at the Liceu in Barcelona and at the Arena di Verona, Die Walküre at the Seattle Opera, Simon Boccanegra at the Festival Verdi in Parma, Il trovatore at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo and at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville.
