Praised as a delight to both ear and eye, soprano Jodi Frisbie has a “diamond bright sonority and a fearless technique”, said Ellen Pfeifer of the Boston Globe of her performance of Mozart’s Mass in C Minor with Boston’s Back Bay Chorale. Coming this fall, Miss Frisbie will be performing the role of Birdie in Blitzstein’s Regina with the Boston Opera Project. In 2004, Miss Frisbie debuted with Opera Omaha, reprising the role of Lula in Cold Sassy Tree (which she first performed with Utah Opera), and with Granite State Opera as Papagena in The Magic Flute.
Miss Frisbie began her 2002-2003 year with her first performance of Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with Opera Aperta. Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote, "Jodi Frisbie's Donna Anna was a firebomb, always accurately aimed; she navigated the coloratura better than some very famous singers one has heard in this role." As a member of Utah Opera’s prestigious Studio Artists’ Program, Miss Frisbie performed the role of Lula in Carlisle Floyd’s Cold Sassy Tree and Clorinda in La Cenerentola. She also sang Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with the Utah Symphony.
During the 2001-2002 season, Miss Frisbie debuted with the Maine Grand Opera singing her first performance of Pamina in The Magic Flute. As a Young Artist with Indianapolis Opera, in her 2000-2001 season, she performed as Kate in The Ballad of Baby Doe and Betsy in Sweet Betsy from Pike, as well as performing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in Bach’s Kantate 214. She then performed the roles of Frasquita in Carmen with the Ocean State Lyric Opera and a Daughter in Philip Glass’ Akhnaten with Boston Lyric Opera.
Other roles performed have included Musetta (La Boheme), Nella (Gianni Schicchi), and the New Prioress (Dialogues of the Carmelites). Previous concert engagements for Miss Frisbie include Haydn’s Creation, Dvorak’s Te Deum, and Orff’s Carmina Burana.
