The American lyric coloratura soprano, Caroline Brazelton, obtained her Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance and her Bachelor of Music Education from Stetson University (2009-2014). She currently studies with Matt Morgan and David L. Jones and coaches with Brian Garman. She has been a young artist with multiple programs. Most recently, she performed the title role of Gretel in Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel with Steamboat Artist Institute under the direction of Brian Luedloff in Colorado. This upcoming summer (2021), she will be performing the title role of Alcina in George Frideric Handel's Alcina with Chicago Summer Opera. She is expected to be a young artist with the Sherrill Milnes’ VOICExperience in Florida. Additionally, she will be a young artist with the Vienna Summer Music Festival and will be playing the role of Sheherazade in the contemporary opera The Loathly Lady by Paul Richards. In this Young Artist Program, she will also be covering Musetta in Puccini’s La Boheme and Grete' in E. Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. Caroline has been a young artist with Vancouver Song Institute, Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, and the Amalfi Coast Music and Arts Festival.
Caroline Brazelton is a versatile musician, actress, and performer. With training in both classical and contemporary technique, she has comfortably made a home in both the operatic and musical theater worlds. A daring actress that relies heavily on her secure vocal technique, she believes that no matter the genre of performance, there is a story to be told that can resonate and change lives.
Speaking to her true goals of crossover work, Caroline Brazelton has worked in theaters both central to New York City and throughout the Southern USA region. She has revitalized classic roles such as Baker’s Wife in Sondheim’s Into the Woods and Cunegonde in Leonard Bernstein's Candide. Adversely, she loves the chance to explore newer roles such as Claire in Adam Gwon’s Ordinary Days. In between, you can always find her power-housing high Cs in any ensemble that may need it.
Caroline Brazelton has made a name for herself as a concert and cabaret soloist. Confident in executing traditional works such as the soprano soloist in G.F. Handel's Messiah (Jacksonville Chorale) and an orchestral evening of arias (Riverside Opera Company), there is a sensible grounding that comes from doing these traditional solo works. She also finds freedom in reimagining traditional works and bringing new works to life. She has worked with a number of production companies, both local to New York and regionally, including HiGlass Productions, Elm Street Cultural Arts Village, Don’t Tell Mama NYC, and more.
Caroline Brazelton is absolutely obsessed with her two cats and has been told too many times that her spirit animal is Monica from the sitcom Friends. She is a cliché millennial when it comes to the obsessive amount of plants in her house and she loves to create her own recipes for pies. She currently resides in Harlem, New York. |
