ABOUT MAGGIE

Critics have also proclaimed, "Ms. Lattimore has it all: looks, intelligence, musicianship, personality, technique, and a voice of bewitching amber color." She began her career singing the florid works of Handel, Rossini, and Mozart but has recently expanded her repertoire to include the works of Mahler, Verdi, and Wagner, making her one of the most versatile mezzo-sopranos performing today.

Ms. Lattimore has performed with some of the most renowned arts organizations in the world. These include The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera, San Diego Opera,  Florida Grand Opera, and Dutch National Opera, to name just a few.
