American soprano Maureen OFlynns 25 year career has taken her to the most important opera houses of the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro all Scala, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Vienna Staatsoper and Lyric Opera of Chicago, La Fenice, Dallas Opera, and San Diego Opera Company . She is currently regarded as one of the finest interpreters of Gilda in Rigoletto, which has become something of a signature role for her. She has sung under the batons of Riccardo Muti, Placido Domingo, Antonio Pappano, Marcello Viotti, Maurizio Benini, Leonard Slatkin, and James Conlon to name a few, singing roles which include the title characters in Lucia, La Traviata, Manon, The Merry Widow, Romeo & Juliette, La Sonnambula, Elvira in I Puritani, Mimi in La Boheme, and Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro.
Ms. OFlynn keeps a busy concert schedule having performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Milwaukee Symphony, the Minnesota Symphony, as well as several appearances with the star-studded Richard Tucker Gala Concerts at Avery Fisher Hall in NY. Also at home on the musical and theatre stage, she has performed the roles of Jenny in Sondheims Company, Laurie in Oklahoma, Julie in Carousel, Marianne in Molieres The Miser, and Sister Rita in The Runner Stumbles. She won acclaim for her portrayals of Guinevere in Camelot & Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, with the Berkshire Theatre Festival in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and in 2010 starred in the world premier of Joan Ackermanns The Taster with Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, MA.
