Lyric Opera 2022-2023 Issue 1-Ernani

Lyric Opera of Chicago | 42 QUINN KELSEY At Lyric this season: Carlo/ Ernani . Previously at Lyric: 18 roles since 2003/04, most recently Tonio/ Pagliacci (2020/21), Miller/ Luisa Miller (2019/20). Also this season: Enrico/ Lucia di Lammermoor , Opéra national de Paris; Marcello/ La bohème , The Metropolitan Opera; title role/ Macbeth , Canadian Opera Company. Over the three seasons I was a Ryan Opera Center Ensemble member (2003-2006), the most valuable training I received was stage experience. Performing in Lyric Opera productions alongside senior colleagues greatly boosted my confidence in my abilities, allowing me to successfully launch my career. I’m incredibly grateful for the wonderful support I received as an Ensemble member—and for the generosity of the many donors who have ensured the continued support of successive generations.
