Soprano Marcy Richardson has brought the craft of marrying aerial arts and acrobatic pole with live classical singing and burlesque to opera and entertainment companies worldwide. Based in Brooklyn, she has become a staple of the NYC nightlife scene, where she performs with Company XIV, Duane Park, and the Bartschland Follies. She is equally at home on the operatic and concert stage, and has performed as a soloist in many of New York’s most acclaimed concert halls, including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. Obviously furloughed, she’s been hanging in a hoop from fire escapes in both her backyard and over the street at Duane Park for “outdoor dining with ambient street performance” in sub zero temps while singing in a mask without batting an eyelash. She was the 2018 Dora Mavor Moore Award winner for Best Female Performance in an opera for her portrayal of Amour in Gluck’s Orphée with Against the Grain Theater and Opera Columbus. She recently appeared as Star in the movie “Hustlers.”
