Mezzo-Soprano Jamie Barton of Rome, Georgia, is in the midst of an astonishing life.
A local export of world wonder and joy.
“I didn’t know this life could exist when I was growing up!! I was a late bloomer with classical music, I just knew I loved music, and I wanted to do something in that realm for my career.”
Hailed by the New York Times as the “leader of a new generation of opera stars,” and christened “opera’s nose-studded rock star,” Barton has blown off the stodgy opera dust of a few centuries.
Ms. Barton is a mezzo singer – meaning middle in Italian – and is the middle range for a female singer. Their voices are often described as being dark, round and full of color.
