Ms. Richardson will be performing with the Symphony of the Americas in their Holiday with the Symphony Concert at the Amaturo Theatre at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

And finally, Ms. Richardson will return with Opera in Williamsburg in the role of Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni.

“When Kyaunnee Richardson takes the stage, you feel her presence, are stunned by her poise, and taken in by her beauty. When she opens her mouth and starts to sing, her voice more than meets the moment. With challenging runs often in a foreign language, opera is a difficult discipline to master. To do it on stage under hot lights in elaborate costumes adds extra degrees of difficulty to the job. But it’s a lifelong passion for Richardson who exudes elegance on and off stage…” ~John Hayden

“… A particular joy of Opera in Williamsburg’s staging of Così fan tutte was the casting of a young, vibrant Despina who both possesses and wields complete control over a fine voice… Soprano Kyaunnee Richardson ignite the performance with her fiery singing and personality… Vocally and comedically, Richardson was an typically endearing Despina who both earned her laughs and sang Mozart’s music with charm and technical flair…” ~ Joseph Newsome
