Charlottesville Opera (CO) is pleased to announce Soprano Sharin Apostolou as CO’s first Ader Artist-in-Residence. Sharin is an accomplished professional singer who has graced Charlottesville Opera’s stage in leading roles for the past five seasons. The admiration between Sharin and Charlottesville audiences is mutual and one of the reasons Sharin and her husband have chosen Charlottesville as their new home town.
“Sharin has been a highlight of CO’s summer performances and we look forward to benefitting from her artistic perspective beyond the stage”, says General Director, Christina DeMarea. “As a successful international performer, Sharin brings invaluable talent and experience to our Young Artist and educational programs, as well as our mainstage productions.” Sharin represents the new generation of classical singing. She is equally comfortable and acclaimed for her Baroque and early music repertoire as she is her Bel Canto roles. |
