Alexandra Rodrick
  • A standout performer on the opera stage, American singer

    Alexandra Rodrick

    is by turns a fiercely dominating force and a deeply sensitive storyteller.

     

    Rodrick's career highlights include performing Carmen under the baton of Maestro Seiji Ozawa in Kyoto and Tokyo in both the 2017 and 2019 seasons and debuting the­ role of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with Chautauqua Opera in 2018, a role for which she has been sought after since, and for which she was described as “strikingly real,” with “vivid acting and a glint of steel in her mezzo-soprano voice” (The Chautauquan Daily). In the 2021/2022 season, Rodrick made her mainstage debut at San Diego Opera in Roméo et Juliette and Il barbiere di Siviglia.

  • Rodrick has appeared in operas and concerts throughout the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, and Japan and has distinguished herself as a fearless singing actress with powerful vocal facility. Other notable roles performed include Dorabella in Così fan tutte, Angelina in La Cenerentola, Orphée in Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice, Le Prince Charmant in Cendrillon, Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Mercédes in Carmen, Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro, Anna in Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins, Hermia in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and La Ciesca in Gianni Schichhi with such companies as The Atlanta Opera, VEROZA Japan, Des Moines Metro Opera, Baltimore Concert Opera, Opera Delaware, Opéra Louisiane, Opera de Tijuana, Vero Beach Opera, and Wolf Trap Opera.

     

    Rodrick is a sought-after interpreter of new works and has performed multiple world premieres. She workshopped composer Nicolas Reveles’s one-woman opera Ghosts with San Diego Opera in 2020. In 2018, composer George Lam was commissioned to write the orchestral song cycle Underwater Acoustics for Rodrick, which she premiered with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra. She performed the role of Wife in Scott Wheeler’s Naga from the critically lauded Ouroboros Trilogy with Beth Morrison Projects in 2016.

     

    A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Rodrick holds an Artist Diploma from the Opera Institute at Boston University, where she was a Resident Artist from 2014-2016, and Bachelor of Arts from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. Rodrick is also an alumna of several notable training programs, including Des Moines Metro Opera, Aspen Opera Theater, Green Mountain Opera Festival, and Wolf Trap Opera.

     

    On the concert stage, Rodrick has performed as the mezzo soloist in Handel’s Messiah, Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, Bach’s St. Johannes-Passion and Magnificat, Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis, Verdi’s Requiem, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah. She has won awards in multiple international singing competitions including the McCammon Voice Competition in 2020, the Hans Gabor Belvedere Singing Competition, the Palm Springs Opera Guild International Vocal Competition, the Mildred Miller International Voice Competition, the Deborah Voigt Vero Beach Opera Foundation Inaugural International Vocal Competition, the Musical Merit Competition of Greater San Diego, and the Metropolitan National Council Auditions, Western Region.

  • LA CENA È PRONTA.

    sustainable food · artistic freedom · digital dignity

     

    LA CENA È PRONTA ("Dinner is ready") began three years ago as a live recital series. Wishing to connect with audiences outside of the concert hall, Alexandra Rodrick, Joshua Arky and pianist Ines Irawati performed for an intimate group of guests while simultaneously cooking them a multi-course meal.

     

    The event was so surprising and exhilarating to audiences that the LA CENA team reprised the event the following year. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, LA CENA È PRONTA extended its offerings to an online community of food and music lovers with a video series that features the same essence of culinary musical celebration that made the in-person events so exciting and one-of-a-kind.

     
    LA CENA È PRONTA's guiding principles center around three things Alexandra is passionate about: sustainable food, artistic freedom, and digital dignity. When food and music are mindfully, sustainably, and lovingly made (and eaten), they are inherently good, nourishing, and valuable, regardless of whether or not they fit into commonly accepted standards for what makes "good food" or "good music."
