The lovely young Mezzo, Victoria Kelp, has been praised for her glorious voice, adding an “irresistible glow” to her “absolutely celestial” sound.  

Known for her versatility, Ms. Kelp performs a diversity of roles and styles.  She has charmed her audiences with Octavian in DER ROSENKAVALIER, and Cherubino in THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, delighted children as Hänsel in HÄNSEL AND GRETEL, sung the Mother in Britten’s ALBERT HERRING and Maddalena in RIGOLETTO.  Ms. Kelp has performed with the opera companies of Virginia, Knoxville, Des Moines and Nevada.

Equally at home in the concert and oratorio repertoire, Ms. Kelp has also enjoyed the opportunities of singing the great oratorios and orchestral works in the repertoire.  Some of these include Mahler’s RESURRECTION SYMPHONY; Brahm’s LIEBESLIEDER WALZER; Beethoven’s NINTH SYMPHONY and the CHORAL FANTASY and Mozart’s REQUIEM.     

Ms. Kelp is a Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Competition, the Elardo International Opera Competition and a Winner of the MacAllister Awards.
