Baltimore-based soprano Erin Perry (she/her) is a lyric coloratura with a passion for historically-informed performance in opera, oratorio, and choral chamber music. A strong actress with a clear voice and great expressive capabilities, her favorite roles include Euridice in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, Cleopatra in Händel’s Giulio Cesare, and Drusilla in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea. Her most recent operatic role was Diana in Cavalli’s La Calisto.

Erin is a frequent ensemble singer whose experience ranges from classic choral works to modern-day premieres. Major concerts include Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, St. John Passion, and Mass in B-Minor, as well as Orff’s Carmina Burana which she performed with the National Symphony. In early 2025 Erin sang with Lorelei Ensemble under Dr. Beth Willer to perform the U.S. premiere of Tim Brady’s Symphony No. 7: This One is Broken in Pieces. Later that year she worked with Willer and the Peabody Camerata choir to perform James Kallembach’s Antigone: The Writings of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Movement.

Erin collaborated with composers through the Peabody Institute’s opera etudes project, which paired student composers with singers to workshop new opera scenes. Other new music projects include the world premiere of Libby Larsen’s micro-opera Pandora Jones (2021), the 2023 world premiere of Griffin Candey’s opera La Casa de Bernarda Alba (2022), and the Midwest premiere of Nkieru Okoye’s opera We’ve Got Our Eye on You (2023).

Erin is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree in voice performance at the Peabody Institute with Elizabeth Futral. She earned her Bachelor of Music degree in voice performance with an emphasis in music history from Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music, where she studied with Nancy Maultsby.
