Frederica von Stade, described by The New York Times as "one of America's finest artists and singers," stands now at the pinnacle of a career that has taken her to the stages of the world's great opera houses, as well as concert and recital platforms throughout this country and abroad.

Renowned as a bel canto specialist, Miss von Stade has triumphed in the great mezzo-soprano parts of Rosina in The Barber Of Seville, Adalgisa in Norma, Elena in La Donna del Lago and the title roles of la Cenerentola and La Sonnambula.

In addition, her great love of the French repertoire has led her to many successes in this sphere, including Melisande in Pelléas and Melisande, Charlotte in Werther, Marguerite in The Damnation of Faust, Blanche in Dialogue of the Carmelites and such rarely-heard operas as Rameau's Dardanus, Thomas' Mignon and Massenet's Cendrillon. It is not surprising that Carnegie Hall should produce a French Opera Festival around her and in the 1983-84 season, she was the featured artist in a series of three French operas presented in concert form: Offenbach's La Perichole, the United States premiere of Massenet's Cherubin and Thomas' Mignon.
