Sadie Spivey is a multidisciplinary performer combining her expertise in opera, acting, and directing to create dynamic storytelling. Through curating new works and breathing fresh air into established repertoire, she believes that storytelling serves audiences’ innate desire to connect.
Last summer, Sadie was a Festival Artist with Opera Saratoga, performing in new works by Christopher Cerrone (In a Grove) and Emma O’Halloran (A Mass for Women in Bathrooms), and repertory favorite La Vie Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach. She is excited to return this summer to perform in My Fair Lady and the premiere of Alyssa Weinberg's DRIFT.
Sadie recently performed in and co-devised 1518: A Rock Opera, which appeared at The Center at West Park as a part of the Evolution Festival.
She staged and performed Francis Poulenc's monodrama La voix humaine in Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music and at Penn State with frequent collaborator and pianist Maeve Berry.
Sadie co-created, directed and performed AWAKENING, a fully staged, collaborative song recital inspired by the tradition of protest music. The show was presented at the cell theatre in Chelsea as a part of City Lyric Opera's artist-led season.
Sadie is a graduate of Bard Conservatory, where she obtained her Master’s in Vocal Arts, and holds a BM in Voice Performance and a BFA in Acting from Penn State.
