Dr. Caroline Worra

My career has spanned over 100 roles in more than 80 operas, including 20+ world, American, and regional premieres. I have worked with prestigious companies including The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and New York City Opera, and toured nationally as Violetta in La Traviata and Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus. I am a six-time recording artist with a Grammy nomination for Best Opera Recording. Opera News has recognized me as "one of the finest singing actresses around"!
