Acclaimed for her performances of opera’s leading heroines, Christine Lyons has been hailed a “true virtuosa” (Broadway World), exclaimed a “revelation” (Gay City News), and been lauded for her “impressive range of emotions, all of them personified by her soaring soprano” (Maryland Theater Guide). This season, she joins San Francisco Opera for the world premiere of John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra, and will perform in concert the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor with Maryland Opera in "Bravissimo Bel Canto" and Liú in Turandot with Toledo Opera in "Celebrazione del Coro". Ms. Lyons will welcome next season in Union Ave Opera’s Don Pasquale as Norina and returns to San Francisco Opera as the Leonora cover in Il Trovatore.


Last season, Lyons gave inspired performances of Handel’s Agrippina with Florida Grand Opera, and Governess in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw with IlluminArts Miami, with Palm Beach Arts noting her “grace, powerful presence, and rippling soprano,” and South Florida Classical writing that she brought “a regal bearing and opulent timbre to Handel’s showpiece solos.” In concert, she sang with Lyric Fest at The Academy of Vocal Arts in My Letter to the World.
