Jessica Sandidge   

Soprano Jessica Sandidge has been praised for her “luminous strands of silver vocalism” (Parterre Box) and her “voice of both power and beauty” (Operawire). She debuted as Manon Lescaut this season with Opera Festival of Chicago, in which The Hyde Park Herald deemed her a “marvelous Manon, bringing superb technique that resulted in admirable consistency [with] silver sparkle.” Other credits include the role of Hanna Glawari in The Merry Widow, with Musica Viva in Hong Kong. Recent performances include Micaëla in Carmen: The Traveller with Pensacola Opera, the title role in Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah with Delaware Valley Opera, and a Candle Light Concert of Puccini and Verdi arias with The Highline String Quartet. She will also debut as a soloist with the Los Angeles Symphony, and Gulf Shore Opera. Noteable performances include Elle in La Voix Humaine in a live performance recorded on green screen, later screened at a movie theater in North Hollywood. ​No matter the role, Jessica digs down to find the core of her characters to bring their emotional reality to life in performance.
