They were Nazi-resisting lovers in “The Sound of Music.” They’ll be playful lovers in “Oklahoma” in the spring. And in the opera “Pagliacci,” Cadie J. and Jonathan Bryan get to play the tragic lovers Nedda and Silvio in November.

2025-2026
Louisiana-born soprano Cadie J. Bryan recently made a star turn as Milada in Smetana’s Dalibor at Bard Summerscape, where critics praised her “radiant tone and nuanced singing” and “stage-commanding performance.”
Bryan’s 2025-2026 season includes her first contract at The Metropolitan Opera, covering the leading role of Sarah Kavalier in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay; a return to The Atlanta Opera as Woglinde in Götterdämmerung; her role debut as Nedda in Pagliacci with Piedmont Opera; and Laurey in Oklahoma! with Pensacola Opera.
