JUST IN! Helen will be performing the role of Turandot in Minnesota Opera's production of Turandot in April 2013! Tenor, Scott Piper will be singing opposite Helen in the role of Calaf. Don't this opportunity to see Helen sing this magnificent music.
After a busy summer producing La fille du Regiment and Little Women at her summer opera festival, Sugar Creek Opera Festival, Helen Todd is currently preparing the role of Cio-Cio San in Madame Butterfly for performances happening in 2012 in Ohio and Illinois.
Ms. Todd has entered an era of preparing new repertoire having performed the role of Turandot in 2010, as well as covering the same role for Pittsburgh Opera in March of 2011. After having two children, her voice became fuller and rounder in the middle and lower voice while still maintaining the easy high notes for which she became known. Turandot was the first role in the new repertoire! A perfect fit with lots of thrilling high C’s! Ms. Todd is currently singing and preparing roles such as Lady MacBeth in Verdi’s MacBeth, Lenore in Verdi’s Il Trovatore and Arabella by Strauss.
While preparing her voice, Ms. Todd is also in the planning process for the 10th anniversary season of her festival, Sugar Creek Symphony and Song (also known as the Sugar Creek Opera Festival). In 2012, Sugar Creek will produce Madama Butterfly on the mainstage and Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi for the apprentice program. Mainstage singers are primarily managed singers.
