"Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen’s list of accomplishments is no doubt impressive: a former young artist at Houston Grand Opera; winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, the Belvedere, and Operalia; a recent Metropolitan Opera debut as Countess Almaviva; and upcoming roles at San Francisco Opera, Vienna State Opera, and a return to the Met. But just as impressive are this young soprano’s sense of herself and clear passion for the art form she feels deeply grateful to be a part of."
