performances  |  recordings

Mezzo-soprano Pamela Dellal is an acclaimed soloist and recitalist whose singing has been hailed as "lushly fluid" (The Washington Post). She made her Lincoln Center debut under world-renowned conductor William Christie, singing Messiah with the Handel and Haydn Society at Avery Fischer Hall. She has appeared in concert throughout the United States and in major cities in Europe, Australia and Japan. Her repertoire encompasses an astonishing range from 12th century monody through Renaissance songs, Baroque cantatas and oratorios, 18th-20th century art songs and operas, and premieres of new works.

"Outstanding…"~ The New York Times

"Dellal has always sung with uncommon intelligence, imagination and textual awareness...her mezzo [is] even and responsive over at least 2 1/2 octaves, unblemished by any break...dramatic, richly human, and raptly spiritual."
~ The Boston Globe

"Her exquisite vocal color was matched by musical sensitivity...deeply felt…" ~ The Worcester Telegram (top)
