Noted for her lyrical pathos and comedic flair, Filipino-American mezzo-soprano Brittany Fowler has been praised by the New York Times for her “dynamically fluid characterization”. Her interpretive vocal work runs the gamut from Western European medieval polyphony to experimental Gamelan opera. Recent engagements include Shirl in the world premiere of Eric Moe’s The Artwork of the Future with Fresh Squeezed Opera and Ada Lovelace in Kamala Sankaram’s The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace with New Camerata Opera. Other operatic roles include Larina (Eugene Onegin), Ottavia (L’incoronazione di Poppea), Meg (Little Women), and The Mother (Amahl and the Night Visitors).
She is an active member of Opera on Tap’s New York chapter, bringing opera to the masses in unconventional places, and the New York Continuo Collective. She is also a frequent guest artist for the NYU/Tisch Opera Lab, in conjunction with the American Opera Project.
Brittany received her Bachelor of Arts in Music and Italian Studies from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where she was the recipient of the Scott Prize for Romance Languages and the Cardinal Community Award for Music. She spent two seasons as a Young Artist with Opera North in New Hampshire, one season as a Young Artist with Boston Early Music Festival, and a year at the University of Bologna in Italy through the Eastern College Consortium.
