Hailed for her “floating, silky soprano” and a deemed “a standout in acting and voice” (Chicago Classical Review), Nathalie Colas was born and raised in Strasbourg, France. She is a current soloist and co-founder of Third Coast Baroque, Liederstube, and new music ensemble Fonema Consort. Nathalie was recently heard in Chicago’s Haymarket Opera Company production of Bologne’s L’Amant Anonyme, in Bach Christmas Oratorio with Chicago Choral artists, and in the title role of Rita by G.
