Additional operatic performances include Meg March ( Little Women), Siebel ( Faust), Amastre ( Serse), Florence Pike ( Albert Herring), La Ciesca ( Gianni Schicchi and Buoso’s Ghost), Olga ( Die lustige witwe), The Witch ( Hansel and Gretel), and Franca Nacarelli ( The Light in the Piazza). She debuted at Indianapolis Opera as Flora Bervoix in La traviata, and her portrayal of the Marquise de Merteuil in the Boston premiere of Conrad Susa’s The Dangerous Liaisons was noted “flamboyantly evil in a way that’s so very fun to watch” (New England Theatre Geek). Laskowski’s repertoire includes both standard and contemporary opera, oratorio, and song.

The spring finds her performing in a series of concerts along Florida’s Gulf Coast, including engagements in Tampa, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Punta Gorda, Naples, and Marco Island. Lauded for her “flowering, darkly rich voice” (Boston Classical Review) and “natural, easy stage presence, and ample vocal gift,” mezzo-soprano Krista Marie Laskowski begins her 2022 season covering Orlofsky in The Bat’s Revenge with Gulfshore Opera. Lamp has been the recipient of multiple competition awards from the Rising Stars Vocal Competition at Vero Beach Opera, the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, the Gerda Lissner Foundation, the Lois Alba Aria Competition, the New York Lyric Opera Vocal Competition, and others.

Lamp was scheduled to be the soprano soloist for Masterwork Chorus’ performance of Verdi’s Messa da Requiem in Carnegie Hall, but that performance was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That season she also sang three Verdi Messa da Requiem’s, one with only hours’ notice, as she filled in for an ailing soprano with the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in her 2018-19 season, singing the soprano solo in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem with Mid-America Productions. She returned to Gulfshore Opera to sing an all-Puccini concert and portrayed the title role in Puccini’s Suor Angelica with Opera Fusion, a South Florida company. Another highlight was appearing as the soprano soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the South Florida Symphony Orchestra at the Broward Center. The 2019-20 season sent her to Boston, where she appeared as Clotilde and covered the title role in Bellini’s Norma with Boston Lyric Opera as an Emerging Artist. Her 2021-22 season will include singing the title role in Tosca for Gulfshore Opera, Mozart’s Requiem with the Palm Beach Symphony and Master Chorale of South Florida, and Beethoven’s Egmont with Orchestra Miami.

Virtual, outdoor, and socially distanced concerts, street stages, livestreams -even a “porch concert” in her neighborhood -are among the ways she lifted her voice, and spirits, remaining connected with her craft and audiences. Robyn Marie Lamp, a powerful Florida-based soprano, wasn’t quiet for too long during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
