Bethany Grace Mamola | Soprano

Soprano Bethany Grace Mamola has charmed audiences with her stage presence and warm vocal timbre. The Cleveland Plain Dealer praised her with “...the most beautiful singing, whose Carolina was as disarming in characterization as it was expressive in vocal shading.” Arts Atlanta wrote that Bethany “was that rare talent who commands not only the virtuosity of a seasoned operatic vocalist but also the stage presence and acting prowess necessary to truly embody the character she presents”.

Bethany has been a featured soloist with the National Repertory Orchestra Festival in Colorado, the Emory Chamber Music Society of Atlanta, DeKalb Symphony Orchestra, the Abilene Philharmonic, the Sausalito Song Society, the McKinney Philharmonic, the River Cities Symphony Orchestra, and Cleveland Opera Theatre, among others. Her stage credits include Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro, Drusilla in L’incornazione di Poppea,  Zerlina in Don Giovanni, Carolina in Il Matrimonio Segreto, La Princesse in L’enfants et les Sortileges, Cendrillon, and Polly Peachum in The Three Penny Opera.
