MEI GUI ZHANG BIO
Ms. Zhang opens the 2024/25 season debuting the role of Oscar in Un ballo in maschera with San Francisco Opera, followed by an appearance as Pamina in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte with the Atlanta Opera. She then reprises her “warm, honeyed” Barbarina with the Metropolitan Opera in Le nozze di Figaro.
She made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2023, joining the Philadelphia Orchestra in J.L. Adams’ Vespers of the Blessed Earth. Previous season highlights include her debut as Euridice in San Francisco Opera’s Orfeo ed Euridice opposite countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński; and her “energetic, bright-voiced Thibault'' in Sir David McVicar’s Don Carlos conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
Ms. Zhang’s connection to her cultural roots have brought her to prominent stages, including her world premiere of Aaron Zigman & Mark Campbell’s Émigré with the New York Philharmonic and Shanghai Symphony, recorded with Deutsche Grammophon; and her debut as the lead role Dai Yu in Bright Sheng’s The Dream of the Red Chamber with San Francisco Opera.
