About
Natalie
Soprano Natalie Mann is an internationally active recitalist, admired for the clarity of her vocal line, sustained legato, and refined musical expression. Now based in France, she performs regularly in recital and concert throughout Europe and the United States, in repertoire ranging from early music to art song and contemporary works. A dedicated champion of salon music, she is committed to reviving this intimate art form through programs that combine stylistic rigor with a strong sense of narrative.
Her Carnegie Hall debut, in a program devoted to American women composers, was met with critical acclaim and confirmed her standing as an artist of both refinement and expressive depth. Particularly drawn to imaginative programming and the exploration of new repertoire, Ms. Mann has released solo albums that reflect this artistic focus, including her album Rendezvous in the Salon, a world-premiere chamber music release (Albany Records); Experience, featuring art songs by Lori Laitman and Richard Pearson Thomas (Albany Records); and she has appeared as Sarah in The Mask in the Mirror, a chamber opera by Richard Thompson (Navona Records).
As a concert soloist, she has appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the South Shore Orchestra on two New Year’s tours of China, and the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, performing major works such as Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and Symphony No. 9. Her operatic repertoire includes leading roles in works by Mozart, Verdi, Bizet, and Gounod, though her artistic activity is focused primarily on recital and concert performance.
Ms. Mann is the winner of the Hawaii Public Radio International Art Song Competition and was a finalist in the Gerda Lissner Competition. She is also a recipient of a Metropolitan Opera Encouragement Award. She holds advanced degrees in Vocal Performance from Indiana University in the United States and the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Reviews for "experience"
“… a gleaming, shimmering sound that seems to emerge with little or no effort, floating on a seemingly inexhaustible stream of breath. One must appreciate the flawless legato line with which she sings even the most difficult of these songs, and the easy warmth with which she rides the highest climaxes.”
– Gregory Berg reviewing the CD ‘Experience’ for the Journal of Singing.

“…Natalie Mann, (as Sarah), whose ingratiating vibrato makes her character unmistakably seductive. Mann and Humes sing a love duet that soars…”
