Glitter & Be Gay with Special Guest Soprano Elisabeth Comeaux

25 Years of Gay Pride “Comeaux’s rendition was musically sound and heartbreaking. The clarity, strength and beauty of her voice and presence culminate in the sort of magic that music is all about.”
- ROCHESTER POST BULLETIN

Music organizations enjoy Elisabeth Comeaux, not only because she is a gifted singer, but a superb actress as well. She has performed leading roles with noted companies across North America. Companies such as San Diego Opera, New York City Opera, Minnesota Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Utah Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, and at England’s Aldeburgh Festival.

Concert work has taken her across the globe. In England she has sung cabaret and concert opera with the London Sinfonia and Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Bournemouth Symphony. Closer to home she has sung with the Minnesota Orchestra, Richmond Symphony, Pacific Orchestra and orchestras located in Omaha, Duluth, Newark, Grand Forks and her hometown of Rochester, Minnesota. She has been very fortunate to sing with gifted conductors such as Christopher Hogwood, David Zinman, Andrew Litton, Keith Lockhart, Heinz Fricke, George Manahan, Philip Brunelle, Jere Lantz, Richard Buckley, Stewart Robertson, Steuart Bedford and Stephen Lord.

On the lighter side, she has been heard on numerous broadcasts of Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and portrayed characters such as Ann in Sondheim’s A Little Night Music with Utah Opera, Billy Jo Casta in Peter Schickele’s Oedipus Tex (Mr. Schickele conducting) and Gilbert and Sullivan roles that include Josephine in H.M.S. Pinafore, YumYum in The Mikado and Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance.
