BIOGRAPHY
“Impressive coloratura soprano” (The New York Times) Elizabeth Sutphen has garnered praise for her sparkling voice and her ability to “soar deftly through stratospheric trills and arpeggios” (Financial Times). Praised as “exquisite” by The Guardian, Ms. Sutphen recently debuted with the Spoleto Festival as the Governess in The Turn of the Screw. In 2025-2026, she joins Opera San Antonio as Rosina in their production of Il barbiere di Siviglia, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as Papagena in a concert of Die Zauberflöte, and MidAmerica Productions as the soprano soloist in Fauré's Requiem at Carnegie Hall. She also sings the role of Shprintse in a workshop of Weiser’s Tevye’s Daughters with American Lyric Theater. Next season, Ms. Sutphen will make her house debut as Zerbinetta in Opera Omaha’s Ariadne auf Naxos, and sing as Uranie/Venus in Les Surprises de L’amour with Opera Lafayette.
