Soprano Fotina Naumenko is a versatile artist who enjoys singing a wide
variety of genres, including opera, oratorio, art song, musical theater, choral and
contemporary music, both as a soloist and chamber musician.
Favorite opera roles have included Blonde in Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio (Delaware Valley Opera), Brigitta in Tchaikovsky's Iolanta and Amor in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice (Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory Theater), Clorinda in Rossini's Cenerentola (Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music) as well as Euridice in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo and Coridon in Handel's Acis and Galatea (Cincinnati Chamber Opera).
Recent concert performance highlights include Fotina's solo debut with the Boston Pops in the symphonic premiere of the Broadway musical revue Sondheim on Sondheim; the soprano solo in Bach's Ascension Oratorio with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and the Cincinnati Vocal Arts Ensemble; a performance of David Lang's Just at the Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music that was hailed as "a beautiful performance" by the New York Times; Debussy's Nocturnes (III. Sirènes) with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Louis Langrée; and selections from Shostakovich's Satires at the 2017 Constella Festival as part of a program entitled From Russia with Love.
