Hailed as “a lyric soprano of ravishing quality” by the Boston Globe, Laura Choi Stuart appears this season as a soloist in Handel’s Messiah, as well as in St. John Passion, B Minor Mass, and Brahms Requiem.

In opera, she has appeared on the mainstage with Boston Lyric Opera, Opera Boston, Annapolis Opera, Lake George Opera, the In Series, and Opera North in roles including Musetta, Adina, Gilda, Pamina, and Frasquita, and in premieres of new American works with Washington National Opera as part of the American Opera Initiative.

Laura was honored for art song performance at the National Association of Teachers of Singing Artist Awards and the Art Song Discovery Series for the Vocal Arts Society. 

Laura is a passionate teacher, and serves as Head of Vocal Studies at Washington National Cathedral, and as a visiting clinician at Bridgewater University, Towson University, the Maryland AGO, and many choirs in the DC region.  

She shares clear (fun) voice education for choral singers on YouTube and at TheWeeklyWarmUp.com.
