女高音

喬治亞．加曼在美國與歐洲連續多場高規格首演之後，她持續探索抒情與美聲曲目，並透過更具現代感的角色打造獨有的美譽。她近期的成功演出包括在凱斯伯．霍頓全新製作、帕帕諾爵士指揮的《羅傑王》中飾演羅珊娜而廣受好評，這是她首次登上科芬園的舞台；去年她透過喬治．班傑明的《寫在皮膚上》飾演艾妮絲一角，並重返科芬園。

喬治亞本樂季又在勞倫斯．雷納斯的指揮下，重新詮釋艾妮絲，與馬勒室內管弦樂團在德國易北愛樂廳演出；另外她繼續與喬治．班傑明合作，在歐美巡迴演出他的受託新作《愛戀與暴力的教訓》(Lessons in Love and Violence)。本季其他的重點演出包括在弗朗切斯科．米凱利全新製作、皮耶．迪穆索指揮的《拉美莫爾的露琪亞》中，以露琪亞一角重返波爾多大劇院；在絲特凡妮雅．帕尼吉尼為達拉斯歌劇院全新製作的《茶花女》中飾演薇奥莉塔；並且在克奇菲爾的指揮下在首屆的紐約州立大學帕契斯音樂節中登台演出。至於音樂會的表演，她則在帕佛．賈維的指揮下與NHK交響樂團演出《唐．喬望尼》的安娜。

她先前的成功演出包括在聖塔菲音樂節首度出場，飾演《弄臣》的吉爾達；擔綱理察．瓊斯為英國國家歌劇院製作的《霍夫曼的故事》當中所有四個女主角的角色；在華盛頓音樂會歌劇院演出《瑪麗亞．斯圖亞達》；在馬爾默歌劇院演出《曼儂》；以及《波西米亞人》的咪咪、《唐．喬望尼》的愛薇拉、《卡門》的米凱拉與《丑角》的妮達。以上精彩演出讓她獲得挪威新歌劇院、紐奧良歌劇院、佛羅里達大歌劇院與棕櫚泉歌劇院的邀約。她的美聲唱法特別受到歡迎，她與聖路克管弦樂團多次登上卡拉摩夏日音樂節的舞台，近期的演出則包括羅西尼較少被演出的《奧雷利亞諾在巴爾米拉》的芝諾比雅、《唐帕斯瓜雷》的諾麗娜，以及《夢遊女》的阿蜜娜。

喬治亞近期新嘗試的角色包括為格蘭治公園歌劇院演出《彼得葛萊姆》的艾倫．霍福特、為辛辛那堤歌劇院演出《尼克森在中國》的毛主席夫人這個困難的角色，以及為波特蘭歌劇院演出菲利普．格拉斯《奧菲斯》專輯的尤麗迪絲（由橘山唱片公司錄製）。她也在卡萊爾．弗洛伊德的《咆哮山莊》世界首演中與富羅瑞庭歌劇團合作，飾演凱西一角，專輯由Reference Recordings 唱片公司推出。

Following a series of high-profile debuts throughout the United States and Europe, Georgia Jarman continues to explore the lyric and bel canto repertoire as well as building a stunning reputation in more contemporary roles. Recent successes have included her highly acclaimed performances Roxana in Kasper Holten’s new production of Krol Roger under Antonio Pappano, marking her Covent Garden debut, and as Agnès in her return to the theatre last season in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin.

This season Georgia returns to the role of Agnès with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra at the Elbphilharmonie under Lawrence Renes and, further ahead, continues her collaboration with George Benjamin in performances of his new commission – Lessons in Love and Violence – throughout Europe and the US. Other highlights this season include Georgia’s return to Opéra National de Bordeaux as Lucia in Francesco Micheli’s new production of Lucia di Lammermoor under Pierre Dumoussaud, Violetta in Stefania Panighini’s new production of La traviata for Dallas Opera, and performances at the inaugural SUNY Purchase Festival in Tancredi under Will Crutchfield. In concert, she joins Paavo Järvi as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with the NHK Symphony Orchestra.

Notable previous successes include Gilda (Rigoletto) for Georgia’s Santa Fe Festival debut, all four heroines in Richard Jones’ production of The Tales of Hoffmann for English National Opera, Maria Stuarda for Washington Concert Opera, Manon at Malmö Opera, and the roles of Mimi (La bohème), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Micaëla (Carmen) and Nedda (Pagliacci) - which have led to invitations from Den Nye Opera, New Orleans Opera, Florida Grand Opera and Palm Beach Opera. Especially sought-after in bel canto repertoire, she has made numerous appearances at the Caramoor Summer Music Festival with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s including, most recently, Zenobia in Rossini’s rarely performed Aureliano in Palmira, Norina (Don Pasquale) and Amina (La sonnambula).

Georgia has recently added the role of Ellen Orford (Peter Grimes) for Grange Park Opera, as well as the exacting role of Madame Mao (Nixon in China) for Cincinnati Opera, and Eurydice in Philip Glass’ Orphée for Portland Opera (recorded on the Orange Mountain Music label). She also sings Cathy in the world premiere recording of Carlyle Floyd’s Wuthering Heights with Florentine Opera, recently released by Reference Recordings.
