Prize winner at the Maria Callas Grand Prix, Italian-American soprano Shelley Jackson is quickly establishing herself as a rising star on the international stage. Immediately prior to the pandemic, she sang Tosca at the Malmö Opera and returned to the role in 2022 at the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Landestheater for her first production post-pandemic, earning praise for her “enormous vocal quality . . . powerful, colorful, mellifluous dramatic soprano” (Opernglas) and “outstanding vocal power and exuberant emotionality” (Flensburger Tagblatt). In 2025, Shelley sings Tosca in a concert version on tour with the Theater and Orchestra Neubrandenburg, Mimì in La bohème at the Domstufen Festspiele in Erfurt, and returns to Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk at the Oldenburgisches Staatstheater in 2026.
