Hailed "charming as all get-out" by Opera News Online and "virtuosic" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Angela Cadelago made her professional debut as Adele (Die Fledermaus) in 1999. Her subsequent appearances on the operatic stage have included Olympia (Les contes d’Hoffmann), Adina (L’Elisir d’Amore), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Norina (Don Pasquale), Rosina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia), and the role of Alba in the West Coast premiére of Robert X. Rodríguez’ La Curandera – to further critical acclaim: "Cadelago is especially engaging, as a singer and as a comedienne."
Ms. Cadelago recently joined Opera Santa Barbara as a 2010 Young Artist, where she performed the Act IV “mad scene” of Ophélie (Thomás’ Hamlet). This coming August, Ms. Cadelago will make her debut in the title role of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor with Festival Opera (Walnut Creek, CA).
Ms. Cadelago joined the Carmel Bach Festival as a 2007 Virginia Best Adams Fellow, and covered both Heidi Grant Murphy and Lisa Saffer, in Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra's 2007 performance of Mozart's Il Re Pastore.
A native of California's Napa Valley and highly regarded San Francisco Bay Area artist, San Francisco Classical Voice has exclaimed Ms. Cadelago's performances to be "consistently wonderful…the soprano also has that ineffable quality that separates good from something better; she definitely has 'it'....effortless, bright, spot-on singing."
A Metropolitan Opera Regional Audition finalist, Ms. Cadelago has appeared in recital both in Italy, at the Spoleto Festival dei due Mondi; and in Denmark, as a featured student of Ileana Cotrubas. In the United States, Angela has appeared as a soloist with orchestras such as the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra, in works such as Mahler's Fourth Symphony, Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Handel's Messiah, and many works of J.S. Bach and Mozart. In November of 2008, Angela shared the stage with baritone Donnie Ray Albert in Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Master Chorale of South Florida.
