Kristina Semos (Lyric Coloratura Soprano) is a cutting-
edge soprano whose operatic repertoire includes such roles as Gilda,
Lucia, Marguerite, Michaela, Violetta, Lauretta, Cunegonde and Mimi.
She has performed with several companies, including Regina Opera,
Opera Manhattan, Chelsea Opera, Espresso Opera, Brooklyn
Repertory Opera, Opera Lirica in Orvieto, St. John’s Performance
Series, and Westchester Summer Vocal Institute.
This past year, Kristina appeared as Ciesca in Regina Opera’s Gianni
Schicchi, Marguerite in Opera Manhattan’s Faust, Michaela in Espresso
Opera’s Carmen, Meg in Chelsea Opera’s The Ballad of Baby Doe, and
covered the title role in Regina Opera’s Lucia di Lammermoor. She is
looking forward to singing her first Violetta in La Traviata with Opera
Manhattan in August.
Previously, Kristina provided the sound-scape for the New York Fashion
Week runway show of Elisa Jimenez, Project Runway contestant.
Kristina also opened a runway show for Brooklyn Fashion Weekend,
not only sharing the stage with hip-hop star Kat De Luna, but also
introducing opera to the hip, trendy crowd that gave her rave
reviews. In 2006, she appeared as Belle Fortune in Brooklyn Repertory
Opera’s production of A.F.R.A.I.D., a modern feminist opera by Susan
Stoderl. The same year, she was seen in recital to benefit the
Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. Perhaps the socially-conscious trend
began in 2005, when Ms. Semos produced and starred in a
dramatized recital work entitled “Sempre Libera – Always Free: An
Aria Concert Against Queer Domestic Violence,” which raised funds
for the New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project.
An international traveler, she spent a year in Europe touring as a soloist
with the University of Bologna’s chamber choir throughout Italy and
England, and has sung in televised concerts at the Palazzo Dei Sette
and Museo Claudio Faino in Orvieto, Italy. A clear choice to appear
in high-profile events, Kristina has also given performances for Brown
University’s televised Baccalaureate Service, and for multiple
banquets in Dallas’ prestigious Hall of State. At home in musical
theatre as well as opera, Ms. Semos has sung Carrie in Carousel, and
the Baroness in Candide at Brown University, where she graduated
Magna cum Laude with degrees in Music and Italian Studies.
Ms. Semos is a proud resident of New York City. For more information,
