Mezzo-soprano Lainie Diamond’s vibrant tone and expressive stage presence brings to life a wide variety of orchestral, oratorio, opera, contemporary music and music theatre repertoire. Her voice has been praised by the Danbury News-Times for its “warm and poignant quality” and received notice in numerous other publications including the New York Times and New Orleans Times-Picayune.
She made her Avery Fisher Hall debut as Bellangère in Ariane et Barbe-bleue with The American Symphony Orchestra. In December 2005, Ms. Diamond was honored to sing as soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Symphony Chorus of New Orleans and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra in the first classical music performance in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.
She performs music from the Early Music period through the Modern repertoire in ensembles including the New York Choral Artists, New York Concert Chorale and the New York Virtuoso Singers at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall under conductors including Kurt Masur, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Sir Neville Marriner and Sir John Eliot Gardiner.
Her recent performances as soloist include Mozart’s Requiem and Vesperae solennes de Confessore with the Choral Society of Pensacola; John Rutter’s Feel the Spirit and McClure’s A Caribbean Mass with the Connecticut Master Chorale; Mendelssohn’s Elijah; Bach’s Magnificat; Lichas in Handel’s Hercules; and at New York City’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Her voice was prominently featured in composer Chris Becker’s score for choreographer Rachel Cohen’s highly praised dance theater work If the Shoe Fits. She was invited back to her high school Paideia in Atlanta, to teach a master class to the students and perform in recital.
Ms. Diamond has sung operatic roles including Hansel, Cherubino and Dorabella. She has won numerous awards and praise for her extensive performances of leading roles in musical theatre and plays including Julie in Show Boat, the Witch in Into the Woods, Flora in Pretty Baby, Lucy Brown in The Three Penny Opera and Shifrah in the Off-Broadway musical Moses, My Love.
Ms. Diamond has sung as soloist for live television masses broadcast from St. James Cathedral-Basilica on The Prayer Channel, NYC. Her voice is featured singing Gounod's O ma lyre immortelle in the upcoming award winning independent film The Legend of Johnson Roebling. In December Lainie will be traveling to Seattle to sing with the Seattle Academy of Baroque Opera workshop directed by Stephen Stubbs. Upcoming performances include singing as soloist with the New York Continuo Collective, and in the New York Choral Artists for the Handel Messiah performances with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Nicholas McGegan.
