SINGER PROFILE: Keiko Clark (Queen of the Night)

Keiko Clark, soprano, has thrilled audiences across the globe with a voice remarkably pure and clear, and a stage presence fresh and engaging. From performing the most demanding arias, to an emotional rendition of the U.S. National Anthem at Dodger Stadium, Ms. Clark takes command of her stage with a warmth and generosity of spirit that audiences take to heart. Her portrayal of Olympia in Les Contes d’Hoffmann, was hailed by ReviewPlays.com, “The audience loved her staccato moves as her voice flirts with almost unreachable heights with the most natural ease and style.”

Ms. Clark is excited to be back with the Repertory Opera Company as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute. Loyal fans of Repertory Opera Company will remember Ms. Clark’s performances of past seasons including the title role of Lucia in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Norina in Don Pasquale, and Olympia in Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Later this season, she will also be performing the role of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.

Keiko’s other operatic roles include both Constanza and Blondchen in The Abduction from the Seraglio, Adina in The Elixir of Love, Madame Goldentrill in The Impresario, Dew Fairy in Hansel and Gretel.
