Praised for her “ravishing coloratura” and “vivid” singing, soprano Ariel Downs makes an impression with her adventurous repertoire and intense stage presence. The 2022/23 season includes her Carnegie Hall debut singing selections from Lakmé and Der Rosenkavalier, as well as her role debut and house debut as Mabel (The Pirates of Penzance) with Heartland Opera Theatre.  She also returned to Thompson Street Opera to sing Calco in The Boy Who Wanted to be a Robot.
