Miriam Browning-Nance
Lyric soprano Miriam Browning-Nance
was raised in Indianapolis, where she was a founding member of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir. She received her BA in music, Phi Beta Kappa and with
honors, from Coe College (Iowa) in 2000, and now holds a Graduate Performance Diploma from the Peabody Conservatory. Her opera roles include Second Witch
in Dido and Aeneas, Helmwige in Die Walküre, Greta Fiorentino in Street Scene, Natalie in The Merry Widow, Berta in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia,
Countess in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro, and Echo and Najade in Ariadne auf Naxos. The latter marked her professional debut with Summer Opera
Theatre Company (Washington, D.C.). Her concert repertoire includes Mozart's Vespers and Regina Coeli, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb, Mendelssohn’s
Elijah and Rutter’s Requiem.
Since moving to New York, she studies privately with Joan Patenaude-Yarnell. During POM's first season,
she performed the roles of Berta in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and Countess Almaviva in Mozart's Le nozze di
Figaro with POM. This past Summer of 2007, she performed the role of Pamina, bringing the audience to
tears during her Ach, ich fühl’s. While music is her first love, Ms. Browning-Nance's
passion for the performing arts has always extended into many branches of arts administration and theatre. She received the Dows Theatre Award in 2000 for her work
in stage management, props, costumes and acting, she served as Assistant Stage Manager for Othello with the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival in 2003,
and from 2003-2005 worked as Box Office Manager for the Everyman Theatre (Equity) in Baltimore.
