Professional
Experience: Gale Fuller, mezzo-soprano, is enjoying a career rich in concert, opera and oratorio. Hailed by audiences and critics alike for the sumptuousness of her singing, she has been described as the “sultriest voice in town” by the Boston Globe. Recently, Ms. Fuller was lauded for her performances at the Cabrillo Festival in California under the baton of Marin Alsop. She sang Thomas Ades’ America: A Prophecy and Nicholas Maw’s Orchestral Suite from Sophie’s Choice, a work she premiered here in Boston to critical acclaim. This past spring Ms. Fuller portrayed Marcellina in Boston Lyric Opera’s production of Le Nozze di Figaro to critical acclaim and made her second trip to China performing the Elgar Sea Pictures solo recitals and master classes. Her fall season opened with a new and well received operatic work by composer, Thomas Oboe Lee under the auspices of Intermezzo. She portrayed Evelyn Inman in The Inman Diaries and in the spring will premiere another new operatic work by composer Charles Shadle entitled A Question of Love.
Ms. Fuller has performed with many opera companies and orchestras throughout the United States, China and Japan, including San Diego Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Sacramento Opera, Opera Colorado, Opera Syracuse, Boston Lyric Opera, Opera Boston, the Boston Philharmonic, Tokyo Philharmonic, the Telemann Orchestra of Osaka, Japan, Opera South, Lake George Music Festival, the Milwaukee Symphony, the San Antonio Symphony, the Chamber Music Society of Connecticut, the Boston Ballet, Binghamton Philharmonic, and the New England String Ensemble. Ms. Fuller made her Carnegie Hall debut in Mahler’s Eighth Symphony with the Boston Philharmonic under the baton of Benjamin Zander, and was presented in recital at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall under the auspices of the Center for Contemporary Opera. She is a frequent artist with many choral and orchestral organizations in New England. Recent engagements include several critically acclaimed performances of Verdi’s Requiem, Dvorak's Requiem, Elgar’s Sea Pictures, Ravel’s Sheherezade, Berio's Folk Songs, Vivaldi’s Nisi Dominus, and performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, fifteen of them with the Boston Ballet.
