Rinat Shaham

**Rinat Shaham** is an acclaimed Israeli mezzo-soprano celebrated for her dynamic stage presence and versatile voice, which effortlessly bridges centuries of musical styles. Known for her vivid interpretations of operatic roles, she’s dazzled audiences in works like Bartók’s haunting *Duke Bluebeard’s Castle* (as Judith) and Rossini’s *Il barbiere di Siviglia* (as the clever Rosina), blending fiery intensity with playful wit. Her recent projects highlight her eclectic range, from the sacred beauty of *Marcello: Psalms of David* to the whimsical magic of Ravel’s *L’Enfant et les Sortilèges*. Shaham isn’t afraid to get creative, either—her *Fantasy in Blue* album weaves Purcell’s Baroque elegance with Gershwin’s jazzy swagger, proving she’s as comfortable bending genres as she is commanding the opera stage. A globetrotting performer, she’s collaborated with top orchestras and opera houses worldwide, earning praise for her rich tone and magnetic storytelling.
