OLGA ORLOVSKAYA

SOPRANO

"Olga Orlovskaya sang the demanding title with courage and admirable musicianship. Her interpretation of Lucia as an emotionally fragile person came through in coloratura – passages of fast notes covering a wide vocal range – possessed of a slippery dream-like quality."

”The Star News"

With Lyrica Classic Olga performed in 2020-2021 and 2022-2023 seasons in the concert series Prayer for Peace.
