In the 2024/25 season, Ms. Henry makes her Metropolitan Opera debut in Die Frau ohne Schatten and appears with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as Gutrune and 3rd Norn in Götterdämmerung and Helmwige in Die Walküre as part of their Ciclo del anillo.

That same season, she returned to the Santa Fe Opera to cover Marschallin and sing Marianne Leitmetzerin in Der Rosenkavalier, conducted by Karina Canellakis in Bruno Ravella’s critically acclaimed production

Ms. Henry’s artistry has been recognized with a prestigious Grammy nomination for Best Opera Recording for her striking portrayal of Lucy Harker in the studio recording of the world premiere of John Corigliano and Mark Adamo’s El Señor de los Gritos. This followed her triumphant debut of the opera at the Santa Fe Opera, where she left an indelible mark on audiences and critics alike. Notably, Ms. Henry stepped into the title role of Janáček’s Jenůfa, as a substitute for Lise Davidsen at the Lyric Opera of Chicago under the baton of Jakub Hrůša.

Previous concert engagements include selections from Norma, in the title role, with Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera, Beethoven 9 with Walla Walla Symphony, and the Fauré Requiem with the Racine Symphony Orchestra. She has also appeared with the Florentine Opera Company as the title role in Pauline Viardot’s Cendrillon and The Santa Fe Opera where she covered the role of Helena in Britten’s El sueño de una noche de verano.
