ISABEL BAYRAKDARIAN, SOPRANO 

Ms. Bayrakdarian burst onto the international opera scene by winning the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 1997. From there, Ms. Bayrakdarian has enticed the opera world with her beauty, presence and style -- along with her strikingly multihued voice. Opera is her home, but her refusal to be hemmed in to a particular period or style has broadened her success. Ms. Bayrakdarian makes her Music in the Morning debut with her husband, pianist Serouj Kradjian.
