Lyric Soprano Aimee McCormack is quickly garnering a reputation for an exciting voice to watch. This past summer, she was the soprano fellow with the Adirondack Performing Arts Festival in Speculator, NY, performing in a wide variety of genres, from classical opera to musical theatre. In March of 2024, she performed The Work at Hand by Jake Heggie as her Chancellor's Competition Prize with the UMKC Symphony Orchestra. In her second-year as an Apprentice Artist with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, she performed in The Shining, Amahl and the Night Visitors, La Traviata, and Carmen, and workshopped and premiered the role of "Mom" in Rachel Peters' Sketchbook for Ollie. Her notable opera roles include: Littler (Proving Up), Fiordiligi (Così fan tutte), Mimì (La bohème), Gretel (Hansel and Gretel), and First Lady and Papagena (The Magic Flute). Mrs. McCormack is currently finalizing her DMA under the tutelage of Dr. Maria Kanyova, and she received her Master’s of Music from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Bachelor’s of Music from Wheaton College. In her free time, she loves to bake sourdough and cookies, hang out with her husband, Kyam, pet dogs, and play the NY Times mini games.
