American mezzo-soprano Micaëla Aldridge (she/her) is a versatile performer with experience in opera, art song, oratorio, contemporary works, musical theater, jazz, and folk music. Born into a musical family, she began voice lessons at nine years old and started her classical career singing works by her father, composer Robert Aldridge, and appearing on NPR’s From the Top at age seventeen. Ms. Aldridge later went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College & Conservatory and her master’s degree from the University of Michigan - School of Music where she was a recipient of the prestigious Jessye Norman Graduate Fellowship in Voice.

This past season, she made her debut at Carnegie Hall in concert with the #Vox Feminarum organization for female composers, as well as marking her highly anticipated role debut in the titular role of Carmen with Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University . Previous seasons saw her role debut as the Composer in Ariadne auf Naxos with Taconic Opera as well as performing in a workshop of a new opera Escobar, creating the role of Diana Turbay with Rutgers Opera.

While at the University of Michigan, she sang Hermia in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, as well as performed in multiple collaborative works, standard repertoire, and world premieres by both student and professional composers. She also performed and curated a solo recital of music written by all female-identifying composers, with a focus on intersectionality and gender issues of the past and present.

​Ms. Aldridge has participated in numerous apprenticeships and training programs, including the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Artists Training Program at Central City Opera, where she toured throughout Colorado as Thelma in John Musto’s chamber opera Later the Same Evening.
