Ally Noone

Shaped by her formal training in neuroscience, soprano and educator Allyssa Noone uses practices rooted in the scientific method to approach performance and teaching, perpetually asking ‘how’ and ‘why’ a composer makes particular musical choices. In pursuing these questions, she applies technical facility and thoughtful interpretation to historically-informed performances of opera, art song, and oratorio. Her work aims to share music’s truest essences, connecting audiences with the experiences of composers and listeners across time. An ardent interpreter of Baroque and Classical opera, Allyssa has performed the roles of Grilletta in Der Apotheker, Second Woman in Dido and Aeneas, and L'Eternità in La Calisto. Allyssa has appeared as a featured soloist with the Princeton University Glee Club in New Jersey, as well as in Tanzenberg, Austria at the Trigonale Early Music Festival. Additional recent solo festival engagements include Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival, appearing with Chamber Music at St. Stephen’s and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Chorus. She also has experience on the musical theater stage, having recently performed for Peabody Opera Theater’s Broadway revue, The Great Escape, in addition to a solo recital at North Oaks' Wilson Hall. Beyond teaching and performance, Allyssa has worked as a tutor and educational consultant, film production assistant, and is currently serving as the Marketing and Social Media Assistant at Opera Baltimore and in the Peabody’s Institute’s office of Digital Marketing and Communications. Allyssa is currently pursuing her Master’s degree in voice at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, where she studies with Ah Young Hong. She received her Bachelor's degree in neuroscience at Princeton University, studying voice with Martha Elliott. She obtained her initial training with Soprano Margaret Cook in Charleston, South Carolina.
