Jennifer Larmore was one of my first opera idols, and I am so privileged to sit down with her for this episode of Technique Talks. She is so intelligent, talented, funny, and full of incredible technical advice! I hope you enjoy this conversation where we discuss breathing optimization, clear vowels, coloratura, and more!
Jennifer Larmore is an American mezzo-soprano, with a wide-ranging repertoire, having begun with coloratura roles from the Baroque and bel canto then adding music from the Romantic and Contemporary periods. She began her career at Opera de Nice in 1986 with Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito and went on to sing at virtually every major opera house in the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Paris Opera, Tokyo, Berlin Deutsche Oper, and Covent Garden.

With her frequent collaborator Antoine Palloc, she has made many International recital tours at major cities throughout the world, as well as all the major American venues. Symphonic repertoire plays a large role in this mezzo’s career and she has enjoyed great collaborations with world orchestras under the direction of Muti, Bernstein, Runnicles, Masur, Barenboim, Bonynge, Maazel, and Osawa, to name a few.
Miss Larmore is widely known for teaching and giving master classes at the most prestigious conservatories and major cities throughout the world. Miss Larmore lives in Paris with her husband and little Opera dog Buffy.
