Latonia Moore

Praised as “richly talented” by the New York Times, the 2020 – 2021 season sees Ms. Moore return to the title role in Tosca in her house debut at Austin Opera, and to Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for a special community concert in Serenbe, Georgia. Ms. Moore was scheduled to return to the Metropolitan Opera to star as the title role in Michael Mayer’s new production of Aida, conducted by music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and to star as Sister Rose in Ivo van Hove’s new production of Dead Man Walking, both of which were scheduled to be broadcast as part of the Met’s Live in HD series. Ms. Moore was also scheduled to make her role debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra as Musetta in La bohème, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Ms. Moore returned to the Metropolitan Opera in the 2019 – 2020 season to sing Serena in a new production of the Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess which is broadcast as part of the Met’s Live in HD series, and which the New York Times noted she “stopped the show...from almost vibrato-less, celestial high stretches to chilling, chesty low phrases, all of which she sang grippingly.” Ms. Moore also sang the title role in Tosca with Opéra de Rouen Normandie Théâtre des Arts, and was scheduled to sing the same production with Théâtre de Caen which was cancelled due to COVID-19. Ms. Moore was also scheduled to sing Serena in Francesca Zambello’s production of Porgy and Bess in a return to Washington National Opera, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. Orchestral appearances included an appearance as a featured soloist in the Metropolitan Opera’s memorial service for Jessye Norman, as well as her Brazilian debut with Mozarteum Brasileiro, conducted by Constantine Orbelian, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. Ms. Moore also appeared in recital with the George London Foundation at the Morgan Library.
