Kate Norigian, Soprano

Kate Norigian has a Bachelor’s Degree in Voice Performance from Rhode Island College and has participated in several summer training programs, including the Crittenden Program in Boston, MA, the V.O.I.C.Experience Program in Tampa, FL with Sherrill Milnes and Friends, as well as at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome under the tutelage of famed Italian soprano Renata Scotto. Kate’s roles have included Turandot from Turandot, Mimi from La Bohème, Nedda from I Pagliacci with Opera Providence, the World Premiere of William Sprague and His Women (a new work by composer Geoffrey Gibbs), in which she performed the title role of Kate Chase Sprague. Kate’s other roles include Mrs. Gobineau from The Medium, Pamina from The Magic Flute with Encore Opera, Cathleen from Riders to the Sea in Wakefield, RI, and again with Modern Vintage Opera in CT, and she has covered the roles of both Carmen and Micaëla from Carmen with Commonwealth Lyric Theater in Newton, MA. Kate’s voice instructors include Maria Spacagna, Margaret Lattimore, and Lori Phillips. Kate’s voice has been described by Grammy-nominated mezzo-soprano Margaret Lattimore as sounding, “old school and throwback,” and similarly was described as “sounding like a Golden Age singer” by the internationally-acclaimed bass-baritone John Relyea.
