ABOUT LATONIA MOORE

When Latonia Moore sang the title role of Aida at the Metropolitan Opera, The New York Times wrote: “… her voice was radiant, plush and sizable at its best, with gleaming top notes that broke through the chorus and orchestra during the crowd scenes.”

Considered one of the greatest sopranos in the world today, 3-time Grammy Winner, Latonia Moore opened the 2024-2025 season in concert with the Orchestre Metropolitain de Montreal in Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 under the baton of Philadelphia Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Other season highlights include Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with Boston Symphony Orchestra, Musetta in La bohème with San Diego Opera, and the title role in Janacek’s Jenufa with The Cleveland Orchestra.

2023-2024 season highlights included Sister Rose in Dead Man Walking (new production) and a reprisal as Billie in Fire Shut Up in My Bones with The Metropolitan Opera, Mefistofele at Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, and Verdi’s Requiem with the BBC Proms.

Ms. Moore has received global acclaim for her interpretation of the title role in Aida; houses where she has sung the role include The Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opernhaus Zürich, Opera Australia, Teatro Colón, English National Opera, New National Theatre Tokyo, Dubai Opera, The Dallas Opera, San Diego Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Detroit Opera, Polish National Opera, and at the Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under James Conlon.

Orchestral highlights include the role of Lady Macbeth in a recording of Macbeth with Edward Gardner for Chandos, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with the Vienna Philharmonic and Gilbert Kaplan for Deutsche Grammophon, Vivetta in L’Arlesiana and Fidelia in Edgar with the Opera Orchestra of New York at Carnegie Hall, and Bess in Porgy and Bess with The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
