“Mezzo-soprano Elaina Noto is boy-like and uncanny as the Prince who mixes the naïveté of a child with the wisdom of a world traveler. He is — as he needs to be — irresistible.”

—Jim Lowe The Rutland Herald

Elaina’s artistry is shaped by the physical joy she feels when she sings. Her characteristic expression begins in the body and resonates through every note.

Elaina completed a Bachelor of Music degree at the Aaron Copland School of Music, where she studied with Dr. Sherry Overholt. She is currently a student of The Maryland Opera Studio where she is pursuing a Master of Music degree under the direction of Kevin Short.
