Albuquerque native Cammy Cook has recently returned to New Mexico as a soprano in high demand. Last season Ms. Cook sang the role of Nedda as an Alumni Artist with UNM’s Opera Theatre in their production of Pagliacci. She is also a regular performer with Opera Southwest where she has sung the roles of Nella in Gianni Schicchi, Madeline/Isabelle in Mollicone’s Face on the Barroom Floor, the Page in Verdi’s Rigoletto, and two original children’s operas. In April of 2012 Ms. Cook played the role of Marisol in the award winning world premier of Ethan Frederick Greene’s children’s opera, A Way Home, which is already scheduled for more performances in February of 2013. Equally at home as a concert performer, Ms. Cook was the soprano soloist in Mozart’s Requiem and Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass with the New Life Symphony Orchestra Southwest.
