Ronit Widmann-Levy’s career has taken her around the world where she has sung in opera houses and festivals in San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, Miami, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Berlin, Munich, London, and Jerusalem. She sang at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, the Bath and Dartington festivals in England and at the Yudiche Cultur Tage in Berlin as well as at the America Haus Concert Series in Munich.
Widmann-Levy is famous for her interpretation of Ladino romance, and in Fall 2007 she begins a concert tour in Europe and the U.S with her New CD Como la Rosa. Her interpretation of Arnold Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire has won praise, and she has been invited to perform the piece in Europe and the U.S.A. The Eugene Register-Guard arts critic in January 2004 described her this way:
“One of the most impressive artists was Ronit Widmann-Levy playing Micaela, the sweet innocent country girl...Widmann-Levy made her two arias memorable. Her voice has a weighty tone, and she uses it with solid technique.”
Widmann-Levy’s repertory includes the roles of Violetta, Constanza, Madama Butterfly, Micaela, Mimi, Liu, and Gilda. Critics consistently enjoy her ability to sing with compelling conviction and warmth with a voice of naturally extensive range that shows “fine-spun altitudes.” (Washington Times)
Widmann-Levy made her début with the San Francisco Symphony in February, 2005 as the Peri in Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher, and performed with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony in Carnegie Hall in April and in Davies Hall in San Francisco in June of 2005 in his Thomashefsky project. She recently repeated this program in concerts with the New World Symphony in Miami, Florida.
