Jasmin White - NOSPR

American contralto Jasmin White “has it all” (VRT News). Their deep, flexible, warm and agile voice exudes charisma that captures an audience from their first note. White possesses a remarkable versatility, adapting both vocal technique and stage presence to seamlessly navigate diverse genres; they can shift from the light and charming demands of Rossini, requiring "a smile, kindness, cordiality, quietly and with the greatest of ease," to the profound depths of Wagner’s drama. In this realm of Wagnerian mystery and power, their mature voice becomes "beautiful and full of pathos, perfectly in their element”. (Knopskaya, Deknopper from Cultuurpakt)

The 24/25 season marks Jasmin White’s first season as a member of the soloist ensemble at Volksoper Wien. This season at Volksoper, White will perform Die Zauberflöte (Dritte Dame), Jolanthe und der Nussknacker (Martha), La Rondine (Suzy), and Die lustigenWeiber von Windsor (Frau Reich). Earlier in the season, White will make a variety of debuts, including Disinganno in Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno with Les Arts Florissants, Sorceress in Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and will join Il Pomo d'Oro for two productions, including Alcina (Bradamante) and Jeptha (Hamor) at Madrid’s Teatro Real, Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Konzerthaus Dortmund, and Vienna’s Theater an der Wien. In spring, White welcomes a trio of Mahler symphonies: Mahler 2 at the Osterfestspiele Salzburg with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, then returning to their home country to perform Mahler 3 with Kansas City Symphony in May and again with Oregon Symphony in June. Finally, White will close out the season in recital with pianist Michał Biel in Bergen, Norway, and a summer tour of Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno with Les Arts Florissants.
