Hailed as a “passionate singer with beautiful warm tones”, mezzo soprano Jacque Eileen Wilson, received her Master’s degree in Opera Performance from The Boston Conservatory. Her operatic roles include: Alisa in Lucia di Lamermoor, Meg Page in Falstaff, Meg in Mark Adamo’s Little Women(New England Premiere), Lola in Cavalleria Rusticana, and Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro.
John Zeugner of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette wrote on her recent performance as Cherubino-"Ms. Wilson emerged the audience favorite in the final standing ovation curtain calls, as Cherubino, sweetly delivering the arias, “Is it pain, is it pleasure …” and “Tell me, fair ladies …” and broadly mugging her way through the required double cross-dressing." For her performance with Chorus Pro Musica as Lola in Cavalleria Rusticana, Jeremy Eichler of the Boston Globe said, “Jacque Wilson a sweet-sounding Lola.” And of her performance in the same role with Granite State Opera, Paul Joseph Walkowski of Opera Online said, “mezzo-soprano Jacque Eileen Wilson, who gave a solid accounting of herself in the role of Alfio’s wife, Lola.”
Equally comfortable on the concert stage, she has been featured as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra with whom she made her Carnegie Hall and Symphony Hall debuts in Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy. Her oratorio work includes Mozart’s Solemn Vespers, Pergolesi’s Magnificat, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Handel’s Messiah.
Ms. Wilson’s upcoming engagements for the 2007-2008 season include: the title role in the World Premiere of Dan Shore’s The Beautiful Bridegroom, Lady in Waiting in Macbeth with Orient Heights Music, and mezzo soprano soloist in Aaron Copland’s In the Beginning with the Newton Choral Society.
