During the 2025-26 season at HGO, Angel Blue performs as Bess in Porgy and Bess. Blue made her HGO debut in 2022 as Violetta in La traviata. She is a two-time Grammy Award winner for Fire Shut Up in My Bones (2023) and Porgy and Bess (2021); a Beverly Sills Award recipient (2020); and a Richard Tucker Award winner (2022). During the 2025-26 season, Blue returns to the Opéra national de Paris to sing the title role in Tosca, and to the Metropolitan Opera to sing both Mimì in La bohème and Liu in Turandot. On the concert stage, she performs Florent Schmidt’s Psalm 47 with the Houston Symphony, the Christmas in Vienna concert at the Konzerthaus Vienna, and concerts at the Grafenegg Festival. She also performs recitals with pianist Bryan Wagorn at Reykjavik Arts Festival, Spivey Hall, and Four Arts Palm Beach. During the 2024-25 season, Blue performed at Last Night of the Proms and then returned to her home stage at the Metropolitan Opera, where she spent a major portion of her season. In the fall, she played Margarita Xirgu in Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar, and in two separate stints over the winter and spring, she made her long-anticipated debut as Aida. Maestro Nézet-Séguin also played a vital role in Blue’s concert schedule, when she joined the conductor and the Rotterdam Philharmonic on tour in the Netherlands, Germany, and France. Blue also made a company debut as Mimì in the Bavarian State Opera’s production of La bohème. She appeared twice at Carnegie Hall, first in recital with the legendary pianist Lang Lang, and again with the Met Opera Orchestra and Maestro Nézet-Séguin. Concert engagements included a solo recital at the Los Angeles Opera and Aida in concert at the Baltimore Symphony conducted by Jonathon Heyward.
