Christine Lyons
Voice. Story. Original Works.
Christine Lyons is a critically acclaimed interdisciplinary artist working across opera, theater, and emerging narrative forms. Praised as a “true virtuosa” (Broadway World), with a “voice rich in nuances” (Pro Opera) and “power and poise” (Classical Voice America), she brings expressive and dramatic clarity to performances across classical and contemporary spaces.
Her creative practice spans leading institutions including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, San Francisco Opera, Florida Grand Opera, and The Shed, with appearances for President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden, the Denyce Graves Foundation, and the United Nations. A specialist in bel canto repertoire, she has performed title roles in La Straniera, Lucia di Lammermoor, Norma, and I Capuleti e i Montecchi, among others. These roles deepen a broader artistic vision grounded in vocal tradition and cross-disciplinary storytelling.
She studied at Carnegie Mellon University with further training in Milan and Salzburg, and serves on the board of Lyric Fest, reflecting a broader commitment to structural and cultural leadership in the arts.
As she continues to perform, Christine is cultivating a parallel body of work that speaks to the future of storytelling. Her creative practice is expanding to include original narrative works across genres. Building on her operatic foundation, she is writing for stage, page, and screen in forms that reflect her commitment to emotional truth, cultural memory, and the evolution of theatrical performance. These projects, currently in development, are surfacing from a desire to shape the narrative landscape with the same expressive integrity that defines her vocal artistry.
Her work has been recognized across national platforms including The New York Times, Opera News, Musical America, and Opera Magazine (London).
