Mannes School of Music Masterclass

Come and work with Mannes faculty Wendy Bryn Harmer to access your most resonant voice!

The Seattle Times heralded Wendy Bryn Harmer as “a standout Senta with a big, radiant voice” in her first performances of Der fliegende Holländer with Seattle Opera. In the 2024-25 season, she makes both her European and South American debuts as Senta in Der fliegende Holländer at Staatsoper Hamburg and the Teatro Municipal de Santiago, respectively. She makes role debuts as Turandot with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City and Miss Jessel in The Turn of the Screw in a return to Santa Fe Opera, joins the Metropolitan Opera for its production of Fidelio, and sings her first performances of Verdi’s Requiem with Orlando Opera. Last season, she returned to the Metropolitan Opera as Kitty Hart in the new production of Dead Man Walking, created the role of Marilyn in Gregory Spears and Tracy K. Smith’s The Righteous in her Santa Fe Opera debut, and sang Ravel’s Shéhérazade with the Utah Symphony. She also added the role of Brünnhilde in Die Walküre to her repertoire. Upcoming performances include a return to Santa Fe Opera, The Seattle Symphony, Utah Opera, The Metropolitan Opera, and Boston Baroque.  

Ms. Harmer is on the faculty at Mannes and The Academy of Vocal Arts.
