Evelyn Saavedra
Vero Beach Opera audiences know Evelyn as Zerlina in our 2024 Don Giovanni and as Musetta in our 2022 La Bohème. Praised for her “lustrous soprano voice”, Cuban-born soprano Evelyn Saavedra is quickly establishing herself as a “gifted young singer to watch” (South Florida Classical Review). Recent performances include Rosalba in Florencia en el Amazonas (Nashville Opera), Vitellia in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito, (Julliard Opera) and Micaëla in an adaptation of Bizet’s Carmen (Juilliard Opera). She is currently completing her Artist Diploma in Opera Studies at the Juilliard School. She holds a Master's Degree in Vocal Performance & Literature from the Eastman School of Music and a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance from Florida International University.
