2013 Master Classes

Nicole Cabell

Picture
Nicole Cabell, the 2005 Winner of the BBC Singer of the World Competition in Cardiff and Decca recording artist, is fast becoming one of the most sought-after lyric sopranos of today. Her solo debut album, “Soprano” was named “Editor’s Choice” by Gramophone and has received an incredible amount of critical acclaim and several prestigious awards: the 2007 Georg Solti Orphée d’Or from the French Académie du Disque Lyrique and an Echo Klassik Award in Germany. 

Nicole Cabell’s current season starts with her much-anticipated role and company debuts as Giulietta in I Capuleti e I Montecchi at the San Francisco Opera. The rest of her season will feature another favorite role, Adina in L’Elisir d’Amore, which she will sing for her debut at the Teatro del Liceo in Barcelona and for her return to the New National Theatre in Tokyo. Further opera engagements include Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with the Cincinnati Opera. In concert, Miss Cabell will sing the Mozart Requiem at Carnegie Hall, Bach’s B minor Mass in Chicago and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Cleveland Orchestra on tour in Miami. Future engagements include returns to the Cincinnati Opera and to the Michigan Opera Theatre, both in new roles.

Julia Faulkner

Soprano Julia Faulkner has had a distinguished International career with performances on many of the world’s great opera and concert stages.  She made her Metropolitan opera debut in the title role of Strauss’ Arabella in 1994 and sang major roles for many years at the Bavarian and Vienna State Operas.   Other prestigious engagements have included performances with La Scala, Hamburg, Amsterdam, The Berlin Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Concertgebouw, Dresdener Staatskapelle, Gewandhaus Leipzig,  and  L.A. Philharmonic  to name a few. 

An equally celebrated recording artist, Ms. Faulkner has recordings on the Naxos, EMI and Deutsche Grammophon labels.  A recent Naxos release (2009) of Hoiby songs with the composer at the piano won critical praise in the press:
                  ……Julia Faulkner’s sumptuously creamy voice is capable of delicate pianissimos, shimmering high climaxes and affecting phrasing…  Opera News

Since the fall of 2003 Julia Faulkner has been a Professor of Voice at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she has established an international  reputation as a master voice teacher.  She is in high demand for Masterclasses and was recently named a Master Teacher for the NATS Intern program.  Her students are singing world-wide at the Met, Chicago Lyric, Bavarian State, Vienna and La Scala to name a few.   In 2009 she appeared in the feature length documentary The Audition, which starred one of her students.
