Strauss’ The Chocolate Soldier at the prestigious Bard Summerscape Music Festival this coming August.  Other credits this season include Sophie in Picker’s Emmeline and Veronique in Pasatieri’s Hotel Casablanca, both at Dicapo Opera Theatre, as well as solo recital at the Crowden School in Berkeley, California.  In the Spring of 2011, Lynne will be a featured soloist in the Weill Music Institute’s Musical Explorers program at Carnegie Hall. 

Last season Lynne played Mary Warren in Ward’s The Crucible with Dicapo Opera Theatre where she was praised by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.  She later made her international debut in Hungary with the same production, which won Audience Favorite after it was internationally broadcast on the Mezzo Arts Channel.  Recently, Lynne made her Carnegie Hall debut as a featured soloist in the Musical Explorers program at Zankel Hall.   Lynne also attended the Ash Lawn Opera young artist program and the Israeli Vocal Arts Institute.  Previous credits include Musetta in La Boheme at Jacksonville Lyric Opera and Clorinda in La Cenerentola with Dicapo Opera Theatre.

Lynne began her studies at the University of Southern California, followed by a B.M. in Vocal Performance and a theatre minor from the University of Miami. At UM, she performed Giannetta in The Elixir of Love, Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi, Yum Yum in The Mikado and Second Lady in Mozart’s The Magic Flute.  While in Miami, she sang with the critically acclaimed Seraphic Fire, a professional chamber ensemble specializing in both early and modern music. 

Upon moving to NYC, Lynne continued her theatre studies at Terry Schreiber Studios.  She participated in a reading of The Man in the Iron Mask at the Emerging Artists Theater in NYC.  Other musical theatre roles include June in Gypsy, Frenchy in Grease, Peggy Sawyer in 42nd Street, and the Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods.  Lynne is also a dancer, having studied ballet since childhood along with competitive ballroom dance in recent years.

Lynne is a student of Katherine Johnson in NYC.
