“As Smeaton in Anna Bolena, contralto Lauren Decker showed us what a fuller voice can bring to this role. This boy-character….fares far better when delivered by a true “alto” voice, and this minimalist staging where it was clear that this Smeton was never a “boy” added another dimension to the drama. Decker only continues to impress, and it is expected that when she leaves this training program her career will soar.”

Contralto Lauren Decker and Soprano Ann Toomey sing the famous Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand duet - March 2020
American contralto Lauren Decker performs Erda's Warning from Wagner's Das Rheingold with pianist Craig Terry.
“Now I’d like to talk about contralto Lauren Decker…..pouring out dark, chocolatey sound with a plushness of tone and amplitude of voice rarely heard in a young singer ….she was again stunning as Princess de Bouillon in….“Non risponde” from Adriana Lecouvreur, dramatically stirring with remarkable high and low notes.”
