BIOGRAPHY
Celebrated for her Fiordiligi at Spoleto USA as “Blonde and vivacious, with a soaring spinto voice that takes a high C easily, trills beautifully, and handles coloratura like a dream,” (Post and Courier) American soprano Angela Fout’s operatic repertoire ranges from classical to contemporary, and she is an avid concert and festival performer on the national and international stage. After seven busy and exciting seasons living and working in Europe, Ms. Fout has recently returned to the United States, appearing with North Carolina Opera and Opera Memphis as Mimi in their productions of La bohème, New Orleans Opera to reprise her celebrated Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, and Arizona Opera as Lona Farrell in the world premiere of Arizona Lady. Additionally, she has appeared with Portland Symphony (opening their 90th season) and the Arizona Music Fest for performances of Janacek’s seldom-heard Glagolitic Mass and with the Canterbury Chorale as the soprano soloist in Mahler’s 8th Symphony.
Ms. Fout’s dramatic appearances have included turns with New York City Opera, Spoleto Festival, Vancouver Opera, Minnesota Opera, Atlanta Opera, Palm Beach Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, and Wolf Trap Opera, and Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar where she has acquired roles in her repertoire such as Mozart ladies Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, and Elettra in Idomeneo, as well as the title roles in Susannah, La Traviata, and Alcina.
