ABOUT
A soulful soprano as seen in her captivating performances, Thalia leaves a lasting impact on audiences. Her dedication to the art of opera and her versatile vocal abilities make her a standout artist in the industry.
Thalia Suleymanov is a New York–based soprano whose artistic mission is to express the depth of human emotion through music. Drawn to song as a truer form of communication than speech, she discovered her voice through performing both opera and art song.
She is currently pursuing her Master of Music at the Peabody Institute of Music and is a graduate of the Cali School of Music at Montclair State University, where she performed in La Calisto, Dialogues des Carmélites, The Beautiful Bridegroom, and Le Nozze di Figaro.
Equally passionate about art song and opera, Thalia explores the contrasts between grand drama and intimate reflection, using music to connect across cultures and experiences. Her dedication to her craft has earned her recognition as the 1st Place Winner of the NATS Eastern Regional Competition, as well as awards including the Undergraduate Opera Award and the Outstanding Undergraduate Performance Award.
