Janet Hopkins, mezzo soprano will be our next guest as part of the 2021-22 Siril Concert Series; Friday, November 12th at 7:30 p.m! This event is brought to you by the Siril Endowment for the Musical Arts.
Renowned dramatic mezzo-soprano Janet Hopkins, a 16- year veteran of the New York Metropolitan Opera, continues to thrill audiences on her concert tour of symphonic stages across America. Recent performances include the Verdi Requiem at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, El Amor Brujo (South Carolina Philharmonic), Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (Bowling Green Symphony Orchestra, Kentucky) and Alexander Nevsky (West Shore Symphony Orchestra, MI).
Known for her innovative style and approach to bringing classical music to broader audiences, Miss Hopkins won critical acclaim from The New York Times and USA Today for the limited edition ARIA. A first-of-its-kind music and fine wine project, ARIA is the marriage of a world-class wine personally blended by Miss Hopkins with Tulip Hill Winery and her recording of well-known classical Italian love songs at historic Capitol Records in Hollywood. The boxed set was an immediate mainstream hit.
Miss Hopkins made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera during the 1991–1992 season. Since then, opera lovers have appreciated her diverse repertoire on the world’s greatest stage.
She debuted at The Met in The Ghost of Versailles, and has since returned many times over the years, pleasing audiences in Die Walküre, Die Frau ohne Schatten, Der Rosenkavalier, Katya Kabanova, Elektra, Jenufa, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, War and Peace, Les Mamelles de Tiresias, L’Enfant et les Sortileges, Khovanschina, Doktor Faustus,The Makropulos Case, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, The Bartered Bride, and Parsifal. Miss Hopkins has toured Japan three times with The Met in Der Rosenkavalier, Die Walküre, and Rigoletto. While in Japan, she sang a series of solo recitals in Tokyo, garnering much critical acclaim.
Away from touring and performing, Miss Hopkins enjoys her position as a member of the voice faculty at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
