Young Russian soprano Mlada Hudoley has been creating quite a sensation in many important opera houses throughout Europe and the United States.  Her interpretations of the roles of Sieglinde in Die Walküre with The Washington National Opera and Baden-Baden, and Fevronia in The Invisible City of Kitezh at the Metropolitan Opera House received glowing reviews in The New York Times, Opera News, and the Washington Post.  She is a regular member of the Mariinsky Theatre and one of Maestro Valery Gergiev’s favorite artists.

Ms. Hudoley was born in Moscow, and graduated from the opera faculty of the Russian Theatrical Academy in 1996.  She was a prize-winner at the All-Russian Bach Competition of Young Singers in 1994, a diploma-winner at the International Competition in Rome in 1997, and a Bayreuth scholarship student of the International Wagner Society in 1998.

In 1998 she made her debut at the Mariinsky Theatre in the role of Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer. Other roles she has sung there include Renata in The Fiery Angel, Salome, Ariadne, Donna Elvira and Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Sieglinde in Die Walküre, Gutrune in Götterdämmerung, Aida, Lady Macbeth in Verdi’s Macbeth, Abigaille in Nabucco, Fevronia in The Invisible City of Kitezh, and Norma.

Her repertoire also includes the Verdi Requiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Stravinsky’s Les Noces, which she has sung at Covent Garden, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Mlada, which she has sung at the Concertgebouw.     

She has also performed many of these roles on tour with the Mariinsky Theatre in such cities as London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Tel-Aviv, Melbourne, Warsaw, and Baden-Baden.

Placido Domingo discovered Ms. Hudoley when she sang Sieglinde to his Siegmund in Die Walküre at the White Nights Festival several seasons ago. He then invited her to repeat that role with him at the Washington National Opera in November 2003. He also invited her to sing Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer with the Los Angeles Opera two seasons ago.

Recent engagements have also included Lisa in Pique Dame in Bordeaux, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni in Lisbon, Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer in Palermo, and Abigaille in Nabucco in Warsaw.  Upcoming engagements include Norma in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Sancta Susanna and Pique Dame at Teatro alla Scala, Sieglinde in Die Walküre at the Japan Festival, Senta in Der Fliegende Holländer inTorino, Manon Lescaut in Tel Aviv, and Sieglinde in Die Walküre at the Metropolitan Opera House with Valery Gergiev and the Kirov.
