Italian-American mezzo-soprano Ginger Costa-Jackson is internationally celebrated for her radiant lyric mezzo, magnetic stage presence, and charismatic portrayals of opera’s most iconic roles. A winner of the Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition and a Samling Scholar, she honed her craft as part of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program.

Her career took flight with Carmen — a role she has sung to acclaim at major houses across Europe, Asia, and North America, including English National Opera, San Francisco Opera, Tokyo’s New National Theatre, and Staatsoper Hamburg. Her 2015 Rosina at the Metropolitan Opera was praised as “vibrant and commanding” (Opera News), while The Times (UK) called her Carmen “intelligent, dynamic, and deliciously self-assured.”

Equally at home in French, Italian, and English repertoire, Costa-Jackson has distinguished herself as Charlotte (Werther), Angelina (La Cenerentola), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), and Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro), with recent appearances at the Royal Opera House, Paris Opera, Gran Teatre del Liceu, La Monnaie, and Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège.

In 2025, she returns as Carmen to Staatsoper Hamburg, Shenzhen Opera, and Florida Grand Opera, where she shares the stage with her soprano sisters, Marina and Miriam. Their 2019 Seattle Opera concert marked a celebrated family debut and a rare artistic collaboration between three internationally acclaimed sisters.

Costa-Jackson’s performances continue to earn acclaim for their combination of vocal finesse, theatrical charisma, and deep emotional insight — hallmarks of an artist whose work consistently resonates across cultures and continents.
