Soprano Elizabeth Futral will sing in the upcoming production of 'Hamlet' with the Washington National Opera, performing in the role of Ophelia. She is a last-minute replacement for German soprano Diana Damrau, who had to withdraw due to her pregnancy. 'Hamlet' will be conducted in-part by Placido Domingo, with whom Futral has had a long-time working relationship
Ms. Futral is most recently coming off a run of 'La traviata' with the San Diego Opera, where she sang in the role of Violetta to critical acclaim. And immediately following her time in Washington, Futral will travel to Long Beach, CA, to sing in a production of Ricky Ian Gordon's 'Orpheus and Euridice,' featuring Grammy nominated clarinetist Todd Plamer and conducted by her husband Steven White, who is himself coming off a successful run of conducting 'La traviata' at the Metropolitan Opera.
