Hailed by OPERA NEWS for her "warm and effortless" singing and widely recognized for her vibrant interpretations, American lyric soprano Hailey Clark is quickly making her mark in Europe and North America. A winner of the Austrian Music Theater Prize for best female in a leading role, Clark continues to garner praise on the international stage for her shimmering, signature portrayals of Mozart heroines, and her versatility in operatic and concert repertoire spanning nearly three centuries.
Clark finishes the 2022/23 season with her much anticipated Bayreuther Festspiele debut as Freia in Das Rheingold.

Clark will also release an independent album of original songs, and collaborate on a family EP with other German-based singer-songwriters. Please stay tuned for updated season announcements.
