Praised as a “gorgeous, mellifluous mezzo… with vivid expression and engaging intensity,” by the Boston Musical Intelligencer, mezzo-soprano Roselin Osser has established a reputation as a dynamic performing artist. In 2024 she made her Carnegie Hall debut as alto soloist in Mozart’s Solemn Vespers with MidAmerica Productions. Acclaimed for comic and whimsical opera roles, she recently joined Boston Lyric Opera as Hansel in their Artist Classroom Visits production of Hansel and Gretel, introducing opera storytelling to hundreds of Boston area students from kindergarten through 10th grade. Other opera appearances include Sesto in La Clemenza di Tito with Opera del West, The Fox in The Little Prince with NEMPAC, The Astronomer in the world premiere of Jack and Jill with Salt Marsh Opera, Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro with Manhattan Opera Studio, and Rosina in The Barber of Seville with Longwood Opera. An accomplished and passionate concert artist, recent seasons include guest soloist in Hometown Holiday with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, alto soloist in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the Concord Chorus, Bach’s Magnificat with the Providence Singers, Mendelssohn’s Elijah with the Pioneer Valley Symphony Orchestra, Mozart’s Requiem with the Masterworks Chorale, and Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater with the Easton Chamber Music Festival. Osser has combined her lifelong passion for performing arts with strong motivation to reduce human impact on the environment. She earned engineering and technology degrees at Tufts and MIT in parallel to her vocal studies, now achieving a distinctive dual career as both a classical singer and sustainability consultant for prominent green building projects.
