Praised for her “flexible, very warm, and crystalline” instrument, mezzo-soprano Ann Fogler is an accomplished and sought-after performer based in Washington, D.C. This past summer, Ms. Fogler was a guest recitalist at the Make Music Upper Perk Festival, where she captivated audiences with Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben. During the winter 2024 season, she will be performing Elgar’s Sea Pictures as a featured guest artist with the Dickinson College orchestra.
Ms. Fogler’s career includes her participation as a young artist in the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation program at Central City Opera, where she performed the role of the Announcer (Gallantry) in 2017. The following year, she was a featured soloist in Encore: A Musical Revue. For her performances, she was awarded the Central City Opera William’s Award (2017) and the Studio Artist Award (2018).
In 2019, Ms. Fogler made her MassOpera debut as Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), a role praised as “delightfully eccentric.” Her recent credits include Lepido (Silla) with The Cambridge Chamber Ensemble and Global Hope (Keepers of the Light) with the Nahant Music Festival. Later that year, Ms. Fogler performed as a soloist with the American Institute of Musical Studies’ festival orchestra in Graz, Austria, delivering selections as Octavian from Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier and Dorabella from Mozart’s Così fan tutte. She was recognized with an Encouragement Award at the 2019 Meistersinger Competition and was a grant recipient of the Anna Sosenko Trust Fund.
