(Los Angeles) February 19, 2025 — On March 15, LA Opera will present internationally acclaimed soprano Angel Blue in a special performance:  Coming Home: Angel Blue in Concert. She returns to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for a thrilling evening of opera, jazz and gospel favorites, backed by the LA Opera Orchestra under the baton of Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados.

A Los Angeles native who launched her career with LAO's young artist program, soprano Angel Blue rapidly came to the attention of the world's biggest opera houses and concert stages, winning over audiences with her honeyed soprano and affecting portrayals of the most beloved roles in the repertory. Her long-awaited return to Los Angeles in 2022’s Tosca confirmed what opera lovers in New York, Milan, London, Vienna, Berlin and Paris had known for years: Angel Blue has become one of the most radiant superstars of our time, drawing thunderous applause and standing ovations around the world.

The soprano will be joined by several special guests, including jazz singer Sacha Boutros and the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts Gospel Choir. She will also perform with two current members of the company's Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist Program, sopranos Kathleen O'Mara and Gabrielle Turgeon.

About Angel Blue
Angel Blue has emerged in recent seasons as one of the most influential sopranos before the public today. The two-time Grammy Award winner, 2020 Beverly Sills Award recipient and 2022 Richard Tucker Award winner is celebrated worldwide for her honeyed soprano and affecting deliveries of many of the most beloved roles in the operatic repertory, including Violetta in La Traviata, Bess in Porgy and Bess, Mimì in La Bohéme and Destiny/Loneliness/Greta in Terrence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones.

The 2024/25 season is one of her most impressive to date, with a staggering itinerary of operatic title roles and concert programs on acclaimed stages worldwide. Beginning in London with the hugely popular Last Night of the Proms, she then returned to the Metropolitan Opera as Margarita Xirgu in Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar, followed by her highly anticipated role debut as Aida. This month, she appeared with the Bavarian State Opera as Mimì in La Bohème, and in April she will perform the title role of Luisa Miller with Washington Concert Opera. Concert engagements for the season include an appearance with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra at Carnegie Hall; a tour with the Rotterdam Philharmonic in the Netherlands, Germany and France; Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Houston Symphony Orchestra; Aida in concert at the Baltimore Symphony; and a recital at Carnegie Hall with pianist Lang Lang.
