Lyric soprano Ana Maria Martinez traces her roots to Puerto Rico and is notably the only Latina soprano at her career level. A Juilliard graduate, Operalia winner, and national finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, Ms. Martinez toured the world with Plácido Domingo, and collaborated with him on the Latin Grammy award-winning recording of Albéniz’ Merlin.
