Biography
Hailed as a “superb mezzo” (Madalena’s Memos, 2017) and “impressively imperious” (The Wagner Journal, 2024), Lorraine Helvick is quickly making a name for herself in the dramatic and verismo repertoire specializing in the works of Strauss, Verdi, and Wagner. Ms. Helvick has captivated audiences across Switzerland, Czechia, England, Ireland, Wales, France, and Canada. Next season, she will debut Herodiade in Strauss’ masterwork, Salome, with the International Opera Institute and premiere her one-woman show, “Operatic.”
