SF Performances Presents: Raehann Bryce-Davis, mezzo-soprano

Presented by San Francisco Performances

With an "electrifying sense of fearlessness" (San Francisco Chronicle), Raehann Bryce-Davis has made the opera and concert world sit up and take notice of her abundant energy and magnetic style. A gifted singing actress, she has a distinctive point of view in recital programs that bring together voices and stories old and new that resonate with love and courage, resilience, and humanity.

She has been hailed by The New York Times as a "striking mezzo soprano" and by the San Francisco Chronicle for her "electrifying sense of fearlessness." In the 2022-23 season, Ms. Bryce-Davis makes noteworthy house debuts at Washington National Opera as Azucena in Il Trovatore, at the Royal Danish Opera in her role debut as Amneris in Aida, and with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Dutch National Opera & Ballet in her role debut as Jezibaba in Rusalka, conducted by Joana Mallwitz.

As a producer/performer, Ms. Bryce-Davis has released To the Afflicted, her first music video, which received widespread critical acclaim and was chosen as an official video for World Opera Day.  Ms. Bryce-Davis is a 2018 recipient of the prestigious George London Award at the George London Competition. She holds a Master of Music and Professional Studies certificate from the Manhattan School of Music and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Texas at Arlington.
