Reiter was born in
Chicago “As a farmer's daughter who ends up married to an arrogant, suspicious king, American soprano and ensemble member Elizabeth Reiter made a phenomenal role debut. Her agile, powerful and dramatically expressive voice was an ideal fit for the shrewd, savvy title character.” During Frankfurt's 25-26 season, Reiter performed the role of Agnès in a new production of George Benjamin and Martin Crimp's opera
Written on Skin, receiving overwhelming critical praise for her portrayal. The production, directed by Tatjana Gürbaca and conducted by Erik Nielsen, featured Reiter alongside baritone Bo Skovhus. She appeared as a guest at
Opera Memphis and the
Opera Philadelphia among others. She performed as Zerlina in Mozart's
Don Giovanni at the
Tanglewood Music Center, conducted by
James Levine, and as The Dragonfly in Ravel's ''
L'enfant et les sortilèges'' at the
Castleton Festival, conducted by
Lorin Maazel. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she gave house concerts from her home whilest pregnant with twins. == References ==
