Three-time Grammy Award-winning artist Isabel Leonard has established herself as one of the most in-demand performers as a star on the world’s leading stages and screens. The 2024 – 2025 season sees Ms. Leonard’s much anticipated return to Opéra National de Paris as Rosina in Damiano Michieletto’s production of Il barbiere di Siviglia, conducted by Diego Matheuz, and her house debut with Gran Teatre del Liceu as Anita in a concert performance of Bernstein’s West Side Story, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. Ms. Leonard also returns to Houston Grand Opera to sing Angelina in Joan Font’s production of Cenerentola and for her directorial debut leading the HGO Family Day production of Cinderella, as well as her return to The Metropolitan Opera as Rosina in Bartlett Sher’s celebrated production of Il barbiere di Siviglia. Orchestral appearances include performances of Les Nuits d’été with Kevin John Edusei conducting the New York Philharmonic, and Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony conducted by music director Courtney Lewis. Ms. Leonard also continues her collaboration with guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas, performing their all-Spanish program at the Gallo Center for the Performing arts, and appears in recital with Matinee Musicale in Cincinnati, OH, Teatro de la Ciudad in Monterrey, Mexico, Sala Sao Paulo, and Teatro Municipal de Río de Janeiro.

When a man dies, no woman is allowed to leave the house for the next eight years, as tradition dictates. Recently widowed Bernarda Alba enforces this tradition rigorously, using force if necessary. Honor and social reputation are paramount for her. For her five daughters, the house becomes a prison. Locked up and cut off from the outside world, they long for love, freedom, and self-determination. But Bernarda tolerates no disobedience—or marriage below social status. Only Augustina, the eldest daughter, is allowed to become engaged to the attractive Pepe el Romano. But her youngest daughter, Adela, also has her eye on him.
