Hurd, Patricia (Carlotta) A soprano from Chicago, returns to
the cast of The Phantom of the Opera after a brief hiatus to
concertize in London, Chicago and elsewhere, and to recharge her batteries.
Her first incarnation as diva Carlotta encompassed 2,000 performances
and brought her praise from critics around the country for the humor
of her portrayal and the beauty of her voice. Said the Chicago Tribune,
"Patricia Hurd is both very funny and very well vocally equipped for
the role of the prima donna,"while the Boston Globe pronounced her
"A clear-voiced knockout." A graduate of Northwestern University,
with an operatic focus, Patricia has performed at Britain's Aldeburgh
Festival, with Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
and other companies; Phantom is her first foray into musical theatre.
After years of carefully studying the rituals and customs of divas
in their native habitats, Patricia feels exceptionally well qualified
to interpret this exotic culture for the audiences of The Phantom
of the Opera.
