Hailed by Opera News for her “lovely plush lyric mezzo,” and “dramatic sensitivity,” Leah Wool is rapidly garnering critical acclaim for her performances across the country. In 2007-2008, Ms. Wool returns to the Metropolitan Opera for performances of the Second Bridesmaid in Le Nozze di Figaro and Marshal Murat's Adjutant in War and Peace, joins fellow Yale Opera alumni in concert at Weill Recital Hall as part of the inaugural "Yale at Carnegie" series, returns to the Newton Symphony Orchestra as Hansel in Hansel and Gretel, and makes her role debut as Angelina in La Cenerentola with Opera New Jersey.

Ms. Wool recently made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera as the Second Novice in Suor Angelica, and her Carnegie Hall debut as the alto soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Masterwork Chorus and Orchestra. In summer 2007, she made a highly acclaimed return to Central City Opera, singing the title role in Massenet’s Cendrillon. Career highlights also include Hansel in Hansel and Gretel at Opera Theatre of St. Louis, her role debut as Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with the Newton Symphony Orchestra, her New York City Opera debut as Delia in Il Viaggio a Reims, and Nancy in Albert Herring with Gotham Chamber Opera. In spring 2005, Ms. Wool was invited to join a group of sixteen Yale Opera alumni in a collaborative project to record the complete songs of Charles Ives, for upcoming release on Naxos Records.
