Biography |
|
Mezzo soprano Darcy Dunn is a principal member of New York's Magic Circle Opera Repertory Ensemble (MCORE), and has been featured in over 200 performances at such venues as Lincoln Center, LaMama Theatre, Merkin Concert Hall, Saint Peter's Theater, and theTheater of the Open Eye. Her performances with MCORE earned her the Patricia Brooks Award for theatrical excellence as well as impressive notices in the press - "alluring both vocally and dramatically" wrote the New York Times, "charming and entertaining" noted Opera Monthly. Recent performances include Laura in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta at New York's Town Hall, Violet in Ned Rorem' s A Childhood Miracle, the title role in the world premiere of Martin Halpern's The Boy from Deerfield, and the mezzo solos in Mahler's 2nd symphony with the New York Symphony Ensemble. A student of Ray Evans Harrell and graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Ms. Dunn is a versatile singer/dancer/actress who is accomplished in many different performance styles and has a strong background in Flamenco dance. She is currently adding the roles of Rosina and Octavian to her traditional repertory, and has been re-engaged by NYC's Lark Ascending to perform an evening of 20th century songs in April 2001. Other upcoming engagements include a recital benefit performance for the Hunter Mountain Foundation, a number of appearances with the Magic Circle, and a solo cabaret concert this winter in Manhattan. |
