She recently participated in Des Moines Metro Opera’s summer festival where she performed Giovanna in Rigoletto. She has participated in festivals in Chautauqua (NY), Summer Sol-Fest with the Key West Symphony (FL), and Opera in the Ozarks (AK). Some of her operatic roles include Dorabella, in Cosi fan Tutte, Prince Orlofsky in Die Fledermaus, and Second Witch and Sorceress in Dido and Aeneas. Ms. Sorensen performed the title role in Carmen with the Ardamore Chamber Opera. She was featured with the Boston Classical Orchestra as La Prima Donna in Salieri’s Prima la Musica poi le Parole and made her debut with the Bronx Opera as the Secretary in Menotti’s The Consul.

She was a semi-finalist in the Oratorio Society of New York Competition, and also placed as a semi-finalist in the National Association of Teacher’s of Singing Competition. Recently, she returned to the Bronx Opera Company where the New York Times wrote, “Holly Sorensen was a fine Sorceress,” in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.

“Mezzo-Soprano, Holly Sorensen has a luscious voice that shone...and was a dramatic force.”
