Renowned for the floating golden-hued quality of her voice, celebrated Canadian soprano Donna Brown performs on the world’s great opera and concert stages of Paris, London, Tokyo, Geneva, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Sao Paolo, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. She has worked with such distinguished conductors as Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Helmuth Rilling, Carlo Maria Giulini, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Bernard Haitink, Marek Janowski, Kurt Masur, Daniel Barenboim, Armin Jordan, Kent Nagano, Jeffrey Tate, Charles Dutoit, Semyon Bychkov, Mario Bernardi, William Christie, Pinchas Zukerman, and Trevor Pinnock. Ms. Brown has received critical acclaim for her roles as Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Almirena (Rinaldo), Gilda (Rigoletto), Rosina (Il Barbiere di Seviglia), Michaela (Carmen), Nanetta (Falstaff), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Servillia (La Clemenza di Tito), Serpetta (La Finta Giardiniera), Madeleine (Le Postillon de Lonjumeau) Aricie (Hippolyte et Aricie) Scylla (Scylla et Glaucus) and Morgana (Alcina). Ms. Brown also appeared as Chimène in the world premiere creation of Debussy’s unfinished opera Rodrigue et Chimène for the opening of the renovated Opera de Lyon. Recitals have always been of major importance to her, and she has sung in over a hundred recitals with such pianists as Michel Dalberto, Maria Joao Pires, Roger Vignolles, Alain Planes, Stephane Lemelin, Philippe Cassard, Bruce Ubukata, Stephen Ralls, Jean Marc Luisada, Michael McMahon and Peter Tiefenbach. In May 2005, France Musique recorded a three hour program on Donna Brown which consisted of a live interview, (with 500 spectators) involving a retrospective of her career with excerpts from her various recordings, and a live performance in which she sang Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wolf, Debussy, and Michael Head, with Philippe Cassard at the piano
