Dawn Upshaw (born July 17, 1960) is an American soprano. The recipient of several Grammy Awards and Edison Prize-winning discs, she performs both opera and art song, and in repertoire from Baroque to contemporary. Many composers, including Osvaldo Golijov, John Harbison, Esa-Pekka Salonen, John Adams, and Kaija Saariaho, have written for her, and her artistic achievements are extensive. In 2007, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.
I thought to myself, I can't believe I'm standing here, singing a duet with Kiri Te Kanawa! [on a moment from recording sessions, from her complete recording of Mozart's "Le Nozze Di Figaro."]
