Biography
Ukrainian-American dramatic mezzo-soprano Galina Ivannikova is hailed by critics and audiences alike for her rich, lustrous voice as well as for her passionate dramatic portrayals. Bruce Michael Gelbert of NY Art Review raved “ Ivannikova's timbre was ruby in color, her chest register aptly gutsy, and her emotion pitch-perfect. She possessed a big glorious Verdi voice reminiscent of the Golden Age tradition.” She kept busy during the pandemic, performing online concerts, judging competitions, and recording several works by modern composers. The 2019-2020 season successfully kicked off with such performances as Brangäne in Wagner's Tristan and Isolde with Connecticut Lyric opera, as well as an acclaimed aria concert with Northern Art Center, Yellowknife, NT, Canada.
