Young American soprano Liora Michelle has performed a broad range of lyric soprano roles to critical acclaim, including Mimì, Musetta, Micäela, Nedda, Leonora (Il Trovatore) and Desdemona (Otello) among others, receiving praise for “the intensity of her performance and the extraordinary quality of her talent” (Il Globo) and her “heavenly sense of phrasing and timing” (The Herald Sun).
Born in New York to a Russian-Italian mother and Australian father, Ms. Michelle has both US and Australian citizenship.Though currently living in New York City, she became a celebrated artist in Melbourne, Australia during her extended stay there. And in 2007 Liora returned to Australia for the national premiere of Verdi’s Attila in the formidable role of Odabella
Most recently she performed Mimi under the baton of Vincent LaSelva for New York Grand Opera’s 38th Season of opera in Central Park about which the New York Times wrote “intelligent, moving characterization” and the Brooklyn Eagle wrote: “Michelle’s creamy voice …touched us all with its poignant and soulful quality. Her death scene with those terribly sad crashing chords was in a sense, everything opera is about. “
In addition to her singing gifts, Ms. Michelle is an accomplished linguist and dancer. She participated in amateur Latin and ballroom dance competitions in Australia and speaks Russian, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Mandarin, in addition to English. Liora also studied the cello

Mezzo-soprano Mabel Ledo has been praised by the New York Times as "a warm, expressive mezzo-soprano," and according to Opera News : “Mabel Ledo unleashed a voluminous, firmly-placed mezzo that made one long to hear more of her.”The Cuban-American mezzo who is gaining recognition for her warm, sultry voice, was recently heard as Maddalena in Rigoletto with Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and Mari-Pepa in the Spanish Zarzuela La Revoltosa with Sociedad Pro-Arte Grateli. She also appeared as Estella, a role she created for Florentine Opera’s World Premiere of Rio de Sangre by award winning composer Don Davis. The Chicago Tribune writes: “ Ledo brought a rich, earthy mezzo-soprano to Estella.”
Starring as Carmen with Metro Lyric Opera, Ms. Ledo was acclaimed for her portrayal as the volatile gypsy, under the direction of Maestro Anton Coppola. The Asbury Park Press reported: "Musically, the performance was exceptional for the singing of Mabel Ledo as the sultry Carmen. Each note of Ledo's voice dripped an evening's worth of seduction".
On the concert stage, Ms. Ledo has appeared with Miami Symphony Orchestra in El Amor Brujo, as Zia Principessa in Suor Angelica at Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, and with Miami Civic Music Association. She has also been heard at Adrienne Arscht Center with The Miami Pops Orchestra, as well as at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.
