American mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey makes her Cal Performances debut with an inviting program of lieder, cabaret songs, and popular favorites sung in English, French, and German. Hankey made a big splash in the opera world when she appeared in a last-minute cast change as Octavian in the Metropolitan Opera's Der Rosenkavalier in 2023, where the New York Times praised her "mighty yet smooth sound...tireless energy and dramatic skill."
In demand internationally for her compelling stage presence and lustrous tone, Hankey opts for more intimate fare in recital, including songs by Kurt Weill and Cole Porter, Poulenc and Satie, as well as Robert Schumann's much-loved Dichterliebe.
