Sarah Beaty
Voice
Mezzo-soprano Sarah Beaty has been hailed as “the model of bel canto clarity and brilliance” (Cleveland Classical). Her versatile voice showcases a wide range of repertoire, with a specialty in contemporary opera.
She recently moved to Portland from Los Angeles, where she was a frequent soloist with the LA Phil and worked with legendary conductors Gustavo Dudamel, Esa-Pekka Salonen, John Adams, and Zubin Mehta. Sarah is an inaugural Company Member with The Industry, Yuval Sharon’s experimental opera company in LA. She has collaborated with them on multiple world premieres.
Since moving to the Pacific Northwest, Sarah has been a soloist with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, Eugene Opera, Eugene Symphony, Cappella Romana, In Mulieribus, Resonance Ensemble, and Orpheus PDX.
Although her specialty is contemporary opera, Sarah is also passionate about early music. Her interpretation of Hildegard’s songs and hymns were praised as “sung with blinding luminosity” (LA Times). She is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music and teaches private voice lessons from her studio in Milwaukie.
