Kenneithia Mitchell
This outstanding young American soprano has thrilled audiences across the globe with “the ravishing beauty of her voice, her idiomatic and supple phrasing, her endearing personality, and her unfailing musicality. Clearly she is on the edge of a big career” (Boston Globe). Ms. Mitchell has toured the east and west coasts singing the roles of Gilda in Rigoletto, Violetta in La Traviata, and Liú in Turandot to great critical acclaim. The Dessert Sun writes,” The best vocal performance was by Kenneithia Mitchell as Liú. Her voice doesn’t cut through the air waves, it gently separates them”. While the Providence Journal says, “Real artistry came from Kenneithia Mitchell as Liú who gave us a fleshed out character and who managed to blend tenderness and defiance. As a vocalist she was stunning. Mitchell proved to be a master of sweet caress”. The Topeka Capital Journal writes,"Kenneithia Mitchell showed off an expressive coloratura voice and a crystal shattering top range that left us in awe” and the Democrat and Chronicle proclaims, “Soprano Kenneithia Mitchell was a delightful Gilda and her performance of Caro Nome was the highlight of the evening. This piece is always a show stopper but Mitchell’s rendition seemed to actually stop time. Her warm, plumy voice was capable of stupendous high notes and she dispatched trills, runs, and other embellishments with easy elegance”.
Internationally, Ms. Mitchell has toured Paris, France, Denmark, The Island of Martinique and Sophia, Bulgaria singing the soprano solo in Verdi’s Requiem, Violetta in La Traviata, Gilda in Rigoletto, Clara in Porgy and Bess and Liú in Turandot.
She has performed with Connecticut Opera, Virginia Opera, Seattle Opera, Atlantic Opera USA, Opera Burlington, Sophia National Opera, Teatro Lirico D’Europa, Municipal Opera Company, and Houston Ebony Opera.
