Soprano Alicia Woodberry has been praised for causing “the magic to appear” (OperaGene), with a voice and presence that linger long after the final note. Recent highlights include Mimì in La bohème with Shakespeare Opera Theatre, Miss Titmouse in Too Many Sopranos with Cedar Rapids Opera, and she looks forward to returning to the role of Gertrude for the upcoming performances of Hansel and Gretel. She has also appeared in works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Smyth with the Clarion Choir and the Cathedral Choral Society. A passionate advocate for new music, Alicia frequently collaborates with composer Garth Baxter, with whom she recorded From the Heart: Three American Women. Beyond the stage, she is an engaging educator at Opal Music Studio in Alexandria, VA. Originally from Illinois, Alicia is a proud dog mom to Ollie and loves to unwind by hiking and baking something sweet. She holds degrees from the Peabody Institute and Augustana College and is based in Washington, DC.
