Hailed by the New York Times for her "agile coloratura and shimmering sound" Italian-American soprano JESSICA ROSE CAMBIO is thrilling audiences and critics alike with her, "full-bodied Italianate soprano" (WQXR, New York) and her "depth, oozing sex appeal, sudden and disarming flashes of vulnerability, impressive development of the pathos of the character throughout, powerful soprano in top form vocally and largely at ease at the top and with something spicy in the colour of the voice that makes her genuinely exciting to hear." (Bachtrack, London).

Cambio will join the Fest ensemble as resident soprano with Theater Erfurt in Germany next year where she will sing the roles of Violetta in La Traviata, Nedda in Pagliacci, Manon in Manon Lescaut, and Luisa in Luisa Miller.
