Biography
Elizabeth Mondragon
Mezzo-Soprano
Elizabeth Mondragon is a Washington, D.C.-based mezzo-soprano. Her performance experience ranges from traditional operatic productions to new music premieres. Principal roles include Carmen, Rosina, Dido, Ma Moss, Giulio Cesare, and Mother in Amahl and the Night Visitors. She has sung throughout the Northeastern U.S. with companies such as Opera North, Camerata Baroque, Amore Opera, One World Symphony, Maryland Lyric Opera, Regina Opera and In Series.
As much a lover of concert and recital as of opera, she has been a soloist with the Friday Morning Music Club, Central City Chorus, St. George’s Choral Society and the Astoria Symphony featured in the Verdi Requiem, Bach Christmas Oratorio, Rossini’s Petite Messe Solenelle, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor and Mendelssohn's Elijah. In addition, she has been a featured soloist with Ars Musicae Hispaniae Harp Ensemble, performing the music of Spain and Mexico, and has presented recitals of 20th and 21st century song with The Liederkranz Club, the Wiscasset Salon Series, and the UUCC Chalice Concert Series in New York and Maryland.
Her enthusiasm for new music and working with living composers has led to her performing and premiering works by several local composers, such as David E. Chávez, Elisabeth Mehl Greene, William Kenlon, Michael Oberhauser, Frances Pollock, and Erin Rogers, as well as having established a regular collaboration with award-winning composer, David Sisco.
IN Series makes its Kennedy Center debut with the world-premiere of Brian Arreola and Anna Deeny Morales’ new opera ZAVALA-ZAVALA, telling a story of family separation and survival at the US/Mexican border, inspired by true events.
Opening the program will be a world-premiere IN Series commission setting the poems of Gabriela Mistral in her original Spanish as well as the luminescent English translations by Langston Hughes.
