biography

“It was bound to happen, a star born... in the 21st century. Density, core, simplicity, character, mastery: remember this name,” Diapason  writes of soprano Libby Sokolowski. In the upcoming 2023-2024 season, she makes role debuts as Elvira in Verdi's Ernani and Mathilde in Rossini's Guillaume Tell at the Theater St. Gallen, and reprises the soprano soloist in Verdi's Messa da Requiem at the Theater Winterthur. After making her debut at the Theater St. Gallen as Pamina in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte in 2021, Ms. Sokolowski then joined the ensemble there the following season, where she quickly transitioned to the dramatic soprano repertoire with Rosalinde (J. Strauss: Die Fledermaus), Sieglinde (Wagner: Die Walküre, “Der Ring an einem Abend”), and the soprano soloi​st in a scenic production of Verdi’s Messa da Requiem, for which she was praised for her "full, broad, dramatic soprano".

In the summer of 2021, Ms. Sokolowski was invited to perform with the Tiroler Festspiele Erl in a Gala concert of opera arias and scenes with the Orchester der Tiroler Festspiele Erl, presenting operatic works by Tchaikovsky and Verdi. The same summer she was a participant of the Internationale Meistersinger Akademie in Germany where she performed scenes from Puccini's La rondine. Later in the 2021-2022 season, Ms. Sokolowski was invited to join the prestigious Académie de la voix at the Fondation des Treilles, exploring scenes from Donizetti's Anna Bolena and Verdi's Il corsaro with soprano Patrizia Ciofi. During her studies at The Juilliard School, Ms. Sokolowski performed in Lincoln Center’s Peter Jay Sharp Theater and Alice Tully Hall in leading roles of Handel’s Teseo, Handel's Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno with Juilliard415 led by William Christie, Nicolai's Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor, and in concert with the AXIOM ensemble in a performance of Stravinksy's Three Japanese Lyrics. She has been praised by outlets such as Opera News for her ​“rich, excellent instrument,” “considerable artistry,” “fine phrasing,” and “articulate, lyrical, and confident” singing. 

She completed her Bachelor studies at The Juilliard School where she was a full scholarship recipient under the generous support of the Kovner Foundation.

"​Libby Sokolowski succeeds brilliantly as Elvira. Her round, full soprano is able to develop the necessary fire for the lover and woman desired by three men. Her voice is huge, but without sounding like it directly."

“​In the leading roles, Christopher Sokolowski as Gabriel von Eisenstein and Libby Sokolowski as his wife Rosalinde von Eisenstein​ are convincing with their euphonious tone, playfulness, and clear understanding of the text.”
