SOPRANO
Erika Baikoff
"The wonderful Erika Baikoff brought relief to the Mahler landscape in the last movement sublimely introduced by the harp and the clarinet. With a pure and very expressive voice, both in the music and in the text, the Russian-American soprano envelops in a fragile but transparent case the paradise described in this wonderful music."
Russian American Soprano, Erika Baikoff, is a recent graduate of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, during which she sang the roles of Xenia in Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and Barbarina in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. This season she returns to the MET as Tebaldo in Verdi's Don Carlo, conducted by Maestro Carlo Rizzi. In December, she makes her debut with the Orchestre Métropolitain in Bach's B minor Mass, led by Maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
In 2022, she joined the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra's European tour of Das Rheingold and was featured as the soprano soloist in Mahler's 4th Symphony with the Ulster Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Daniele Rustioni. The 21/22 season also included debuts with Schubertìada in Spain and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, both of which she will return to this season.
