White will be performing from 2022-24 at Volksoper as Mary in Der fliegende Holländer, Dritte Dame in Die Zauberflöte, Frau Reich in Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, and Martha in The Gospel According to the Other Mary.  White will also debut this season at both the Dutch National Opera as The Historian in the world premiere of The Shell Trial, and in multiple concert halls across South Korea for the Queen Elisabeth Competition Winners Recital Tour. 

​

In 2023, White won first place in the Queen Sonja Singing Competition in Norway and second place and the audience-awarded Musiq3 Prize of the Public in the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium. White also debuted at Teatro dell’opera di Roma as Erste Geist in Schumann’s Manfred , then later as the mezzo soloist in John Adams’ El Niño with Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and American Modern Opera Company.

In Fall 2022, White made their concert debut as a featured soloist in A Musical Portrait: Bonds & Price, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

A Personal Note

I currently live in one of my favorite cities in the world, Vienna, Austria, with my husband and our dog. On any given day, it's probably safe to say I'd prefer to be riding my bicycle through the Donauinsel (Danube Island), just across the street from our home. 
In my freetime, I most enjoy creating traditional Indigenous American beadwork and porcupine quillwork, hydroponic gardening, cycling, reading, and painting. If you would like to explore some of my visual art and adventures, follow me on Instagram: @jazziejanae.
