Fresh from Texas, Kathy Geary, lirico-spinto soprano, began her operatic career with a stellar debut as Mimi in Puccini's La boheme in Busseto Italy. Both Carlo Bergonzi and Renata Tebaldi, Ms. Geary's early mentors, proclaimed her “a rare voice, a gifted singer and a moving performer.”
Shortly after this triumph, Ms Geary was forced, for personal reasons, to take a hiatus from her operatic career. She has recently made her comeback and according to Nico Castel, “We’re lucky to have Kathy back in the business; we need more singers like this.”
BIOGRAPHY
Maestra Fiora Contino calls Geary “a natural Verdian soprano who understands the traditions and has a good instinct for the vocal line.”
Recently Ms. Geary appeared with the New Jersey Concert Opera as Siegrune in a full-length concert performance of Die Walküre. Further engagements include the Countess in Le Nozze di Figaro with the Capitol Opera Company of Harrisburg and Amelia in Un ballo in maschera with the Burgas Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, Bulgaria.
