Praised by Opera News for singing with "palpable purity" and LA Opus for her "large, lovely, and vibrant voice," Colombian-American soprano, Oriana Falla, began the season with a concert for Opera Laguna at the Festival of Arts. She is so excited to return to Opera in the Heights for Lucia di Lammermoor. In the spring, she will premiere Llantos 1492 with Opera Southwest, and a gala benefit concert for Fundacion Sanar in Pereira, Colombia to raise money for children undergoing cancer treatments. She lives in Laguna Beach with her husband Arnold and cat, Dimpy. www.orianafalla.com
