Praised for her “shining vocal grace” (Chicago Tribune), “crystalline voice and natural stage presence” (The Wall Street Journal), soprano Thea Tullman Moore has delighted audiences in both opera and concert performances. With “exceptional stratospheric ease and timbral sweetness” (Financial Times), she performed the role of Lucia in The Rape of Lucretia with Chicago Opera Theater and Opera Festival of New Jersey. She was “a lively embodiment of La Musica, who also looks and moves well onstage” (The New York Times) in Orfeo at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Thea also sang the role of Jenny in Phil Hagemann’s Roman Fever at Lincoln Center, The Assistant in Richard Wilson’s Æthelred the Unready at New York City’s Merkin Concert Hall, and the title role in Seymour Barab’s The Betrothal of Becky Brown at The Actors Institute of New York. Other roles include Poppea in The Coronation of Poppea, Mademoiselle Silberklang in The Impressario, and Flora in The Turn of the Screw. Thea has appeared in recital at the Ravinia Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, the Académie musicale de Villecroze in Provence, and in salon recitals offered by opera companies across the country, including Central City Opera and Chicago Opera Theater. She has been a featured soloist in a number of major oratorio works, including Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, Schubert’s Mass in G, Rutter’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, and Vivaldi’s Gloria. A native of Chicago, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar College and received her Master of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music.
