"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. In the 2023-2024 season, Ms. Jennings dazzled in exciting role debuts and star billings, singing the title roles in Rusalka with Opera Orlando, Turandot with Gulfshore Opera, and Mimì in La bohème with Opera Las Vegas. Ms. Jennings performs her 5th production as Mimì with Charleston Opera Theater as part of her 2024-25 season, and she returns to the title role in Rusalka with Wichita Grand Opera.
Ms. Jennings has been a featured soloist with Oscar-winning film composer Michael Giacchino.

She can be heard as a soloist in Giacchino’s 2020 solo album, Travelogue Volume 1 with Death Waltz Originals & Mondo Records.
