Kathryn Frady

Critically acclaimed soprano and stage director Kathryn Frady has worked throughout the United States, Europe, and South Africa. Frady has been widely praised for her vocal range, dramatic talent, and immersive and creative direction. Frady received Most Memorable Opera Performance Awards for her vocal and dramatic portrayals of the title roles in Tosca, Suor Angelica, Susannah, Violetta in La Traviata, and Amelia in the World Premiere of Amelia Lost.

Arts Knoxville’s review of Tosca said, “In addition to having those requisite vocal and dramatic qualities that make for great melodrama, Frady, appropriately costumed and coiffed, simply looked and sounded like the Tosca that one carries around in their mind’s eye.” Of her recent performance of Poulenc’s The Human Voice, Arts Knoxville noted “Frady’s brilliance as a soprano capable of riveting the audience’s attention - in vocal depth, in lyrical beauty, and in a marvelously conceived ebb and flow of posture and attitude - was as rewarding as it gets in theater.” TN Today called the same performance “nothing short of a tour de force.”

A fierce advocate for new American works, Frady has produced, sung, and directed in over 20 premieres. Frady’s production of the world premiere of Larry Delinger's Shadowlight, was called "A Stunning Celebration of the Art and Life of Beauford Delaney" in a "marvelously immersive" production by Arts Knoxville.

Frady has a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of North Texas and is the Founding Executive Artistic Director & CEO of Marble City Opera
