November 13, 2018

Praised as “luscious,” “amber-toned,” and “dazzling” by Opera News, American mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey is quickly establishing a name for herself both at home and abroad.

In the 2018/19 season, Samantha will make her Metropolitan Opera debut as Pantalis in Mefistofele, and returns to the Met throughout the year in Adriana Lecouvreur, Carmen, Das Rheingold, Götterdämmerung, and Rigoletto. She will also make her company debut at Opernhaus Zürich as Cherubino inLe nozze di Figaro. Inaddition to these debuts, Samantha will cover the title role in the premiere of Nico Muhly’s Marnie at the Metropolitan Opera.
