The American contralto Ellen Rabiner made her 1994 Metropolitan Opera debut in Elektra and has returned to that house to sing in Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, Die Walküre and, most recently, the Met’s premiere of Moses und Aron. The New York native has also appeared with, among others, the New York City Opera (Suzuki/Madama Butterfly, Konchakovna/Prince Igor); San Diego Opera (Isabela/USA premiere of Daniel Catán’s Rappaccini’s Daughter), Santa Fe Opera (Gaea/Daphne), Michigan Opera Theater, Dallas Opera and the Washington Opera. In concert, Rabiner has performed Mahler’s Rückert Lieder and Third Symphony, Bach’s Magnificat (BWV 243), Falla’s El Amor Brujo, Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky, Händel’s Messiah and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
Recent engagements include Il Trovatore (Azucena) in West Virginia, Aida (Amneris) in Sioux City, Der Rosenkavalier (Annina) in Nashville, and the title role of Vivaldi’s Arsilda in New York. Among her upcoming assignments are a recording of the Bach B Minor Mass (BWV 232) with Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque, in addition to a return to the Met for their forthcoming Ring cycle and a reprise of Moses und Aron.
Ellen Rabiner made her recording debut as the Sorceress in Dido and Aeneas with Nicholas McGegan and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.
