Katherine Henly makes her Metropolitan Opera debut in the Fall of 2024 in Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar. Earlier in 2024, she also made her Carnegie Hall debut and stepped in to rave reviews for Heartbeat Opera's The Extinctionist. Katherine was previously an emerging artist with Charlottesville Opera and returned as a principal in 2022 as Valencienne in The Merry Widow. This season, Jack Swanson performs his signature role of Count Almaviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia at The Metropolitan Opera (debut), the Rossini Opera Festival, and Arena di Verona. Last season, he debuted at Lyric Opera of Chicago and Houston Grand Opera. His high notes have been described as "lusciously sweet" and "strong."
