The Dallas Bach Society is delighted to welcome back soprano Haley Sicking as soloist in the upcoming House Concerts on Friday, February 23 at a private home, and on Saturday February 24 at the Historic Aldredge House.

Her recital will feature operatic fireworks by George Friderick Handel, which she sings to such great effect. Her portrayal of the Angel in Handel's La Resurezzione stands a true highlight in DBS history, as she showed the Baroque music world what it means to sing Handel - in the first bar, her Angel took wings on high A and proceeded down an octave and a half in just two bars to confront Lucifer on his home turf! No wonder that this important commission went to the 23-year-old Handel in the most lavish palazzo in Rome! Even at this tender age Handel outdid them all for Baroque display!!

On our upcoming concert Ms. Sicking will perform four of the major arias for Cleopatra from Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto.

Haley Sicking:

Haley’s performances in New York as Rosalinde in Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, received great praise and it is quickly becoming one of her signature roles. “As Rosalinde, Haley Sicking is nothing short of a star: a tireless, secure soprano that managed to be both voluminous and flexible.” (Parterre box) Voce di meche also wrote: “If the role of Rosalinde could have been better portrayed by anyone but stunning soprano Haley Sicking, we have yet to imagine it. Her comedic skills are prodigious and her lusty soprano shone in the Czardas.”

Haley made her Carnegie Hall debut as a soloist in Rutter’s Requiem and the world premiere of Glasgow’s Requiem. She has recently had the honor of returning to this beautiful hall to perform the world premiere of a new piece, Gloria, composed by Michael Glasgow. Since performing a concert tour in China including operatic and musical theatre repertoire in 18 different cities, Haley has become a frequent guest artist in cities all over China. Haley has recently returned from performing a concert of operatic scenes and selections in Guatemala and is currently preparing for her work as Euridice in Orfeus, by Nmon Ford, which will make its premiere at Opera Carolina in August and is set to run at Lincoln Center in 2025. She is also excited about her upcoming engagement with American Baroque Opera where she will perform the title role of Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare, by Handel. Haley will be the soprano soloist in several upcoming concerts including Vaughan Williams’ Hodie, Haydn’s Creation, Considering Matthew Shepard by Craig Hella Johnson, and Handel’s Messiah. Haley has recently had the honor of being included in a new upcoming Netflix Series about Extraordinary people, she will have a guest appearance on an upcoming Country Music Network Series, and a guest segment on the Dallas Music Network spotlight series.

A native of Dallas, TX, Haley Sicking holds a Master’s in Music from The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. She earned a Bachelors in Music from the University of North Texas, where she was awarded the prestigious Winspear Opera Fellowship and the McKinley award for top incoming student.
