With the Cliburn Foundation and Fort Worth Opera, Bridget is thrilled to collaborate with renowned composer and pianist Jake Heggie on an evening of song at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas with selections from the composer’s most highly regarded art song and opera works. Bridget will perform the song cycle “What I Miss the Most” originally written for mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton and with poetry from Joyce DiDonato, Patti LuPone, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sister Helen Prejean, and Kathleen Kelly.

This summer, Bridget was delighted to join The Glimmerglass Festival as a Young Artist covering countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo in the title role of Handel’s Rinaldo. She also appeared as an ensemble member of both Puccini’s La Boheme and Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. She also appeared singing selections from the repertoire of Rossini, Mozart, Bernstein, and others on Midday Music concerts and various events for patrons of The Glimmerglass Festival.

Bridget made a splash this past season at Shreveport Opera singing her much awaited role debut as the witty and charming Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia with “dazzling coloratura, beautiful lyicism, and Spanish fire!”, directed by Megan Marino and under the baton of Maestro Joe Illick— followed by the bubbly Flora Bervoix in Verdi’s La Traviata.

Her 2022 season included a return to Opera Mississippi and The Natchez Festival of Music as a guest artist in The Magic of Opera— an enchanting evening of opera’s greatest moments with circus aerial performance, dance, and magic— performing selections from Carmen, La Bohème, Die Zauberflöte, and more!

Ms. Cappel recently sang the role of La Poesie in the rarely staged Charpentier opera Les Arts Florissants with The Dallas Bach Society (soon to be available by internationally recognized recording) and created the role of Toypurina in Fort Worth Opera’s world premiere production of Zorro by Hector Armienta— quoted by Opera News as demonstrating “great overall balance” and “clear and assured solo passages.”
