"Shannon Jennings was a vision..."
- George B. Parous, Pittsburgh in the Round
Praised by the Washington Post for her dramatic intensity and vocal ability, soprano Shannon Jennings continues to wow critics and audiences alike. This season, Ms. Jennings sings the title role in Rusalka with Opera Orlando, the title role in Turandot with Gulfshore Opera, and will sing Mimì in La bohème with Opera Las Vegas, and the title role in Pauline Viardot's Cendrillon with Resonance Works. In the 2022-23 season, she performed the role of Mimì in La bohème with Kentucky Opera, and returns to Kentucky this season to perform a solo recital celebrating her Cuban heritage with Spanish-language songs and zarzuela.
Ms. Jennings was a featured soloist with Oscar-winning composer Michael Giacchino in his world premiere of ADVENT with the National Symphony Orchestra for NASA's 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. She can be heard on his 2020 solo album, Travelogue Volume 1, available from Death Waltz Originals & Mondo Records.
