Annie Rosen
Mezzo-soprano
New England First Place Winner 2012

Mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen has been called an “excellent vocal soloist” by the New York Times and praised by OperaNews for her “dulcet, sweetly phrased” singing. This season she appears with Yale Opera as Dorabella in Così fan tutte and with the Yale Baroque Opera Project as Penelope in Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, before spending the summer as an Apprentice Artist with the Santa Fe Opera. Other recent operatic roles include La Ciesca / Gianni Schicchi and La Marchande / Les mamelles de Tirésias with the Central City Opera; Dido / Dido and Aeneas with Yale Opera; Hansel / Hansel and Gretel with Opera Theater of Connecticut; and Alessandro (cover) / Tolomeo with Glimmerglass Opera.

Ms. Rosen has appeared in concert frequently in New York and Connecticut, most recently making her Carnegie Hall recital debut in December with the Italian Academy Foundation. Last season she performed Mahler's Symphony #2 with the New Haven Symphony, Britten's Phaedra with the Yale Recital Orchestra, and Bach's B Minor Mass with the Cappella Cantorum of Connecticut. Her recital repertoire encompasses diverse works from Schumann's Frauenliebe und -leben to Schoenberg's Book of the Hanging Gardens. She has also performed in concerts of German, Polish, and Romanian art songs sponsored by the consulates of those countries.

She earned her B.A. with Distinction in Music from Yale College and her M.M. in Vocal Performance from the Mannes College of Music, where she was awarded the Shoshana Foundation's Richard F. Gold Career Grant in 2010. A native of New Haven, CT, she is currently in her final year at Yale Opera and studies with Doris Cross.
