I often feel I was born in the wrong era but then I realize how much I would miss running water, antibiotics, & my cell phone. So I pretend on the opera stage.
Elizabeth Caballero
Season 2019-2020
Truly happy to announce my 2019-2020 season. Many wonderful house and role debuts coming up. Couldn’t have asked for a more exciting season.
Elizabeth will sing Cecilia Valdés in Madrid
Al fin!!!!! Finally!!! The announcement has been made. I kick off 2020 with a bang making my debut in Madrid at Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, Spain singing the title role of Cecilia Valdés. For those who are not familiar, Cecilia Valdés is one of the most iconic Cuban zarzuelas and it is the first time it will be fully mounted in Madrid. I am beyond moved to have been chosen to bring this very special role to life.
Estoy tan emocionada de poder anunciar que al principio del 2020 hago mi debut en Madrid cantando la bella Cecilia Valdés. Como Cubana, estoy muy llena de emoción y súper orgullosa. Tengo entendido que es la primera vez que se presenta esta obra en Madrid en una producción completa.
“Siento en mi alma Cubana la alegría de vivir!!!!!” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Elizabeth sings Desdemona
I am happy to finally be able to announce the name of the international opera house where I will be making my role debut as Desdemona in Verdi’s Otello. This summer, I will be singing at the gorgeous Palacio de Bellas Artes, home to the Compañía Nacional de Ópera of Mexico City. To sing in a house where Callas, Del Monaco, and many other greats sang historical performances is a great honor for me. Furthermore, as a Cuban-American, I am proud to debut in one of Latin America’s most emblematic theaters. I am incredibly grateful to my friend and European and Latin American manager, Dr. Emilio Pons, acting in collaboration with my American management, Uzan International Artists, for making this debut possible. Soon I will be able to release details about two other important European engagements for next season.
