Erica Schuller

Noted for her consummate stage presence and sensitive, engaging interpretations, soprano Erica Schuller brings committed artistry to her performances of 17th and 18th century repertory. She is a frequent soloist with the San Francisco Bach Choir, and has performed such works as Bach's Johannes Passion, "Jesu meine Freude" and "Aus der Tiefe." This summer Ms. Schuller made her second appearance with the Boston Early Music Festival in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea, and was commended for performing her roles with "skill and grace" by the Boston Globe. She can also be heard on the Festival's Grammy-nominated recording of Lully's opera, Psyche, which she performed in 2007.

Operatic highlights include Armida in Handel's Rinaldo, Pamina in Mozart's Magic Flute, Belinda in Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, and Amor in Cavalli's L’Egisto. She has also appeared as Noémie in Massenet's Cendrillon, Euridice in Rossi's L'Orfeo, Axinia in Boris Goudenow by Johann Mattheson, and Lazuli in Chabrier's L'Étoile.

This season Erica will be a featured soloist in Handel's Chandos Anthems and Bach's Lutheran Masses with the San Francisco Bach Choir, and she will make her directorial debut with Handel's Giulio Cesare for the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.  She also recently recorded the role of Marte (Mars) in Duron's zarzuela Salir el Amor del Mundo with Richard Savino for the Dorian Record Label and will be featured with harpsichordist Corey Jamason and gambist Elisabeth Reed in a program of French Baroque Cantatas in April 2010.
