Soprano

Canadian born Lyric Coloratura soprano, Nikki Einfeld, has been widely recognized for her “high flying virtuosity” (New York Times) as well as “a bright, lithe tone, pinpoint accuracy, and a saucy stage demeanor” (San Francisco Chronicle).

Highlights of Ms. Einfeld’s operatic engagements include appearances with Calgary Opera As Gilda in Rigoletto, the Controller in Jonathan Dove’s Flight with Opera Parallele, Diana in The Chastity Tree and Flavia Gemmira in Cavalli’s opera Eliogabolo with West Edge Opera, Curley’s Wife in Carlisle Floyd’s Of Mice and Men with Manitoba Opera, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro with Vancouver Opera and New Orleans Opera; Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail with West Bay Opera; the title role of Lucia di Lammermoor with Syracuse Opera and Green Mountain Opera Festival; Ophelia in Hamlet with Opera Lyra Ottawa.

A champion of contemporary works she has performed many opera premieres including the role of Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsberg in the opera Scalia/Ginsberg by Derrick Wang, Christopher Stark’s From the Field as Dorethea Lang, and Aleksandra Vrebalov’s Abraham In Flames as Fear and Doubt. In recent collaborations, Nikki showcased her talents both as a performer and director in two World Premiere operas; Kurt Rohde's "4:30 Movie" and Anthony Green's "Tenderhooks," presented in partnership with the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble.

Ms. Einfeld enjoys a wide range of repertoire and regularly appears on both concert and recital stages. Recent engagements with the San Francisco Symphony, Merced Symphony, Victoria Symphony, and as a Left Coast Chamber Ensemble member span from the Baroque era to contemporary and commissioned compositions.
