“Jane Eaglen’s significant career as a performer and teacher has set the bar high for interpreters of Wagnerian soprano roles,” says Allen Henderson, Executive Director of NATS. “Equally at home performing other opera literature and in the concert hall, she has much to offer singers and teachers of singing as she shares her talent with us in this master class.”
With one of the most formidable reputations in the opera and world and concert platform, Eaglen has garnered spectacular reviews worldwide and has recorded numerous solo albums for Sony Classical. She ahs appeared in nearly every major venue in the United States and abroad. Enjoying unique success in the contrasting roles of Isolde (for the Metropolitan Opera, Seattle Opera, Teatro Liceu Barcelona, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and in Puerto Rico), Norma (performed for the Metropolitan Opera, Seattle Opera, Ravenna Festival with Maestro Muti, and the Bastille), and Brunnhilde (performed in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Milan, New York, Oslo, and the UK), she has garnered spectacular reviews worldwide.
