Danielle Talamantes and Kerry Wilkerson
Soprano Danielle Talamantes has received international acclaim. She first earned a spot on the Metropolitan Opera roster in the spring of 2011, singing the role of Najade in Ariadne auf Naxos, and was subsequently reengaged to cover the role of the Flower Maiden Wagner’s Parsifal, the soprano in the quartet of lovers in the Baroque pastiche, The Enchanted Island, and most recently to perform in Strauss’ Die Frau ohne Schatten. Since Kerry Wilkerson’s retirement from military service, the pair have focused on duo performances and recently completed a comprehensive East Coast recital tour.
