Phantom of the Opera
 
My Bio Since making her triumphant operatic debut in the spring of 1994 as Violetta in Opera Northeast's production of LA TRAVIATA, Lorraine Goodman's performances have variously been described as "thrilling...;"spirited"; "extraordinary": "vivid"; "utterly convincing"; and leaving at least one critic “...wanting more, more, more!" No stranger to the stage, Ms. Goodman has appeared on Broadway in THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD (Rosa Bud), LES MISERABLES, and in the original Broadway cast of Terrence McNally's hit play, MASTER CLASS based on the master classes Maria Callas gave at Julliard.  Ms Goodman covered both soprano students, and appeared as Sharon (originally played by Tony-award winner Audra McDonald) over 75 times with Zoe Caldwell, Patti LuPone, and Dixie Carter. She took over the role for the final weeks of the Broadway run and has since performed “Sharon Graham” with several different regional companies. Furthermore she directed the Anchorage Opera's production of this hit play, starring Gloria Marrinacci Allen, which was later performed at the Prince William Sound Theater Conference. Abroad, Ms Goodman has appeared as Grizabella in CATS (Vienna, Austria) and as Carlotta in DAS PHANTOM DER OPER in Hamburg, Germany.  Traditional opera and operetta appearances include Mabel in THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, Wanda in THE GRAND DUCHESS OF GEROLSTEIN, the Governess in THE TURN OF THE SCREW; Adina in L'ELISIR D'AMORE, the title roles in Carlisle Floyd's SUSANNAH and Wolf-Ferrari's SUSANNA'S SECRET, and Musetta in the Dicapo Opera Theater's 100th anniversary production of LA BOHEME, directed by Austin Pendleton. In addition to her theatrical ventures, Ms Goodman has a healthy concert career, having performed in a Tribute to Beverly Sills, at the New York Historical Society, at the Princeton Club of New York, the USDAN Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, Theater An Der Wien in Vienna (a benefit for "Wider die Gewalt"), a benefit for Malloy College honoring Lionel Goldberg sponsored by Cablevision, and, with the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall. Ms. Goodman has also toured Germany and Switzerland as a soloist with Musical Classics, and regularly appears as a guest artist at many galas and benefits. Other directorial credits include the musical revues: "Take Me to the World:  An Evening of Songs by Stephen Sondheim" at the Atrium (Hamburg, Germany), "Songs of Broadway" at the Usdan Center for the Creative & Performing Arts; and "New York and the Great White Way" at The New York Historical Society. She has directed opera, most notably, the acclaimed production of “Le Nozze di Figaro” at Voorhees Hall in Brooklyn an CAMI Hall in NYC and the hit production of Anchorage Opera's "Die Fledermaus" for which she also rewrote the English translation. Ms Goodman is currently on the faculty of the Music Conservatory of Westchester and at the Tisch School at CAP 21, and has taught Master Classes in performance at the North Shore Performing Arts Center in Syosset, New York, the Stella R1 Academy for Musical Theater in Hamburg, Germany, and at Hamburg's Mozarteum.     Ms. Goodman is a graduate of Princeton University GrizabelLa TURN OF THE SCREW : The Governess LA BOHEME : Musetta SUSANNAH : Susannah LA TRAVIATA : Violetta PIRATES OF PENZANCE: Mabel Opera / Operetta MASTER CLASS: Sharon John Golden Theater, NYC Eisenhower Theater, (Kennedy Center) THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA: Carlotta THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD : Rosa Bud Imperial Theater, NYC LES MISERABLES : Imperial Theater, NYC CATS : Grizabella Ronacher Theater (dir. by Gillian Lynne) Carlotta BROADWAY / INTERNATIONAL:
