Hailed as “a fresh young voice of great promise” by Musical America and praised for her “luminous singing” by the New York Times, soprano Emalie Savoy is gaining widespread recognition for her vocal and dramatic versatility.
     A member of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, she will make her Metropolitan Opera debut this season as Kristina in Janáček’s The Makropulos Case. She will also perform with pianist Nathan Brandwein in the Marilyn Horne Foundation’s “The Song Continues” festival and in Gluck’s Armide in a coproduction by the Lindemann Young Artist Program and the Juilliard School. She recently debuted with the New York Philharmonic in Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen. 
     Last season’s highlights include Satie’s Socrate with James Levine and the MET Chamber Ensemble, a collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma, dancer Damian Woetzel, and the Silk Road Ensemble as part of “The World Science Festival” and New York City’s SummerStage concert series in Central Park, in Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos, conducted by von Dohnányi at Tanglewood, and in Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with the Juilliard Orchestra, conducted by Jeffrey Milarsky. 
     Emalie Savoy is the recipient of a 2011 George London Foundation Grand Prize and was awarded Second Prize in the Gerda Lissner Foundation’s International Vocal Competition. She performed Mendelssohn’s Paulus with the Oratorio Society in 2010 and Elijah last spring.
