Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mezzo-Soprano Amber Fasquelle’s career currently unfolds in Europe, where she resides in Valencia as a member of the Centre Perfeccionament Plácido Domingo with the Palau de las Bellas Artes. In 2018 she was the winner of the prestigious Opera Foundation Competition, garnering her a year of work as Stipendiat with Deutsche Oper Berlin. Her time in the Ensemble for the 2018/19 season has featured her on the stage in such roles as Flora in La Traviata, Mercédès in Carmen, Fox in The Cunning Little Vixen, and many more. Amber’s season with Deutsche Oper Berlin ended under the Baton of Sir Simon Rattle, as The Musician in Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. Amber began her career with Cincinnati Opera. In 2017 Amber sang the Third Lady in Komische Oper’s acclaimed Barrie Kosky production of Die Zauberflöte. The following summer she sang with great success the role of Hannah in the stunning and intimate Laura Kaminsky Opera As One. The role was a revelation of meaning for Amber, and the power of the storytelling and healing relevance it has for our time allowed her to access her full communicative powers. For this acclaimed performance, she was noted in the press as a “superb Mezzo-Soprano” and “[an] excellent singing actor...rhapsodic” (Cincinnati Business Courier, 2018.) Throughout her young career, Amber has performed as a soloist at a number of renowned musical venues, such as Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the Mondavi Center in Davis, CA, and Cincinnati’s Historic Music Hall.
