Takesha Meshé Kizart-Thomas is “blasting star quality all over the stage with her stunning voice and sensational good looks” (Opera News). The New York Times describes her singing as “powerful, lustrous, silky, caramel-hued, wielding impressive ease and elegant control”. She is “Worthy of all superlatives. With a breathtaking mastery and unflinching portrayals... a vocal flexibility that enables her to acutely pass from a tearful murmur to a firm luminosity. And her dramatic intelligence is worthy of the great "lionesses" of the lyric theater.” (Opera Magazine), and critics worldwide have praised her visually and vocally compelling performances.
She made her professional debut in 2006 as The Dutchess in Thomas Adès’ Powder Her Face with Musikfest Bremen and the Deutsche Kammer philharmonie. Her American professional debut occurred in 2008 in the title role of Tosca with The Dallas Opera. Both occurring while she studied as an Artist in Residence at AVA.
