Since her big wins at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition in 2013, Atlanta has watched mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, bloom into international fame.
Thursday and Saturday nights, Barton is back in Atlanta, singing with her hometown “band” – the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with Maestro Donald Runnicles conducting. Lois Reitzes spoke with Jamie Barton about singing Giuseppe Verdi’s “Requiem” with the ASO.
