About

Kayla Nanto is a dynamic and versatile mezzo-soprano based in Dallas, TX. This spring, Kayla will perform the roles of “Hansel” in Hansel & Gretel with Opera Montana and "Isabelle Eberhardt" in Song from the Uproar with Verdigris Ensemble. She will also compete as a finalist in The Dallas Opera's Lonestar Vocal Competition.

This summer, Kayla returns to The Santa Fe Opera as an Apprentice Singer, where she will sing the role of “Countess Ceprano” in Rigoletto and cover “Siegrune” in Die Walküre.

"Mezzo-soprano Kayla Nanto was the solo stand-out for this reviewer. Her approach, which was rife with warmth and thoughtful pathos, evoked the mellowed sensibilities of the time while still engaging viewers from the floor to the upper levels."
