Jennifer Johnson Cano

About

Jennifer Johnson Cano is a mezzo-soprano opera singer from Saint Louis, Missouri who has been earning critical accolade since her professional opera debut in 2008 as The Muse/Nicklausse in Jacques Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann, with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. She has since gone on to perform at bigger opera houses, such as the Chicago Opera Theater and The Metropolitan Opera in New York City, and has even performed a solo show at Carnegie Hall. With a heavier voice than regular sopranos, she colors each piece with rich, dark tones that have earned her various prizes, including a Sullivan Foundation grant in 2009.
