Isabel Bayrakdarian
soprano
It’s not every prima donna who can boast a degree in biomedical engineering, but then, Isabel Bayrakdarian isn’t your average prima donna. As an eagerly anticipated visitor to opera houses and concert halls the world over, she’s become as celebrated for her beauty, presence, and style as for a strikingly multihued voice that is wholly in sync with the rest of her. Bayrakdarian is the winner of four consecutive JUNO Awards for Best Classical Album and associate professor of voice at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB).
