Mezzo soprano Amanda Fink commands the stage with her energetic, charismatic stage presence. Her voice possesses a rich, copper timbre that has both the facility and power to excel in a wide range of repertoire.
Amanda Fink has been seen recently with Opera Neo in San Diego, California, where she performed her third Cherubino in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro in a new production by Peter Kozma, in addition to concerts of arias and cabaret numbers. In the summer of 2019, she performed with Teatro Nuovo in NYC, under the baton of Maestro Will Crutchfield where she covered the role of Pippo in Rossini’s La Gazza Ladra, and was a soloist in Rossini’s Stabat Mater. Other highlights in the 2018-2019 season include performing as the alto soloist in Schubert’s Mass in G with the Cumberland Choral Society, and as alto soloist in Bach’s BWV 169 as part of the Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church’s annual concert series in Washington, DC. With Teatro Lirico in Washington DC, Amanda was both Rosaura in the zarzuela Los Gavilanes and performed a recital of songs by Spanish composers Fernando Sor and Martin y Soler, accompanied by guitarist Jeremy Lyons. 2018 also saw Amanda at the Smithsonian Museum, singing solo excerpts from Rossini’s Stabat Mater with the Choral Arts Society of Washington.Read More

“Mezzo-soprano Amanda Fink's fiery upper range and luxuriously fluent coloratura in Rossini's ever popular 'Una voce poco fa,' Rosina's cavatina from The Barber of Seville, brought well-deserved cheers.”
Ken Herman, San Diego Story
“The voice and portrayal that jumped out at me ...was Amanda Fink’s Cherubino. The madcap lad was brilliantly drawn with subtleties of vocal inflection and acting that made her’s one of the best Cherubinos I’ve ever laid ears or eyes on.”
Hugh Fraser, OPERA CANADA, 2017
“Amanda Fink was inspired in the trouser role of the hormone-raged Cherubino.”
Mike Telin, CLEVELANDCLASSICAL.COM, 2017
“Amanda Fink, this diminutive mezzo as the overly-testosterone-ed young man steals every scene she’s (he’s) in. The changing-outfits bit where Rosina & Susanna decide to dress Cherubino as a girl was staged as pure slapstick and was a highlight moment.”
Danny Gaisin, ONTARIO ARTS REVIEW, 2016
“The Benedictus, sung by soloists Laura Choi Stuart, Amanda Fink, Ian McEuen and Kwang-Kyu Lee — was transporting.”
