Melissa Shippen

Described by The New York Times as 'a dramatic soprano with an attractive, powerful sound,' as 'angelic' by the Washington Post, and according to Theater Scene, 'appealing and lyrical,' Melissa has made debuts in her young career throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. The soprano was heard on her first official release Belle Nuit with Vesselina Kasarova after her international win at the Viotti Vokal Genial Competition.
