Allegra De Vita
Mezzo Soprano

Allegra De Vita, hailed by Opera News as a “complex mezzo, [whose] fine-spun vibrato, was lovely in itself, but it also consistently conveyed human utterance.” She was recently seen as "Isabella" in L'italiana in Algeri with Tulsa Opera and as "Meg Page" in Falstaff with The Maryland Lyric Opera.

She has also performed "Maddalena" in Rigoletto with Tulsa Opera, as "Angelina" in La Cenerentola at Dayton Opera, "The Page" in Salome at The Spoleto Festival, "Siebel" in Faust at Washington National Opera, the title role in Carmen with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, "Tancredi" in Erminia with Opera Lafayette, "Agrippina" in Fall of Lehman Brothers with Ballet-Opera-Pantomime in Montreal, "Olga" in Eugene Onegin with Syracuse Opera, and sang "Isaura" while understudying "Tancredi" in Tancredi with Opera Philadelphia. Ms. De Vita spent three summers at the Glimmerglass Festival performing the roles of "Pippo" in La Gazza Ladra, "Fulvio" in Cato in Utica, and "Arsamenes" in Xerxes. 

As a 2018 graduate from the Washington National Opera’s Cafritz Young Artist Program, Ms. De Vita was seen as "Rosina" in The Barber of Seville (Emerging Artist Performance), "Tebaldo" in Don Carlo, "Ruggiero" in Alcina (Emerging Artist Performance), the title role in The Dictator’s Wife, "Cherubino" in Le Nozze di Figaro (Emerging Artist Performance), and "Kate Pinkerton" in Madame Butterfly.
