Cadie J. Bryan and baritone husband, Jonathan Bryan, sit down with Joseph Airdo from IMAGES Arizona to discuss working together and the impact of iconic pieces like The Sound of Music in live theatre today.
“It does not feel like I am playing Maria... It feels like I am playing ‘The Sound of Music.’ It feels like this huge entity. It is so important to so many people and feels so much larger than me.”

"dazzling voice"
"Bryan’s stand and sing rendition of “Il vecchiotto cerca moglie,” lit up the stage, her Berta here as electric as a Zerbinetta.

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE
2022
"The role of Berta only provides one aria with which to showcase singing skills, but Cadie J. Bryan captivates the audience in “Il vecciotto cerca moglie” with a dazzling voice."
Miho Uchida | PLAYS TO SEE
"In a refreshing bit of casting, the role of Berta was reimagined as a young sexy maid, allowing soprano Cadie J. Bryan to steal a bit of the scene in her various comings and goings. She also surprised the ear by offering her fresh, pleasing soprano to Berta’s often ignored aria di sorbetto."

PLATÉE
2021
Cadie J. Bryan was charming in the role of Platée’s long suffering maidservant. Her sunny soprano voice was well suited to Rameau’s music, and her brief solo was luminous and sweet.

"Cadie J. Bryan, a sparkling Clarine"

SMOOTH LEGATO
MONORCHID GALLERY RECITAL — 2019
Soprano Cadie Jordan, a second-year Studio member, opened the program with "Sleep why dost thou leave me" from Handel's 1744 opera, Semele. She began with a significant messa di voce on the first note and continued with a smooth legato and a well placed trill... and showed both the beauty of her even range and her technical ability.

"Whether in solo or ensemble, the three [woodsprites] offered limpid, pliable, steady singing of the highest order."

Her maid was nearly mad from shock, flailing about the carnage trying to get Wright to understand the gravity of the crime she had witnessed. It was one of the most dramatic scenes of the night.

SILVER HIGH NOTES
CHARLIE PARKER'S YARDBIRD — 2018
Soprano Cadie [BRYAN] was Chan, a free spirit who emoted with silver high notes. If Schnyder, Wimberly, and Lamb intended to show [her] commonality as well as [her] beauty, they succeeded.
