Grammy Award winning soprano and winner of the 15th annual Opera News Awards, Ana María Martínez joins the roster of Promethean Artists for general management. Acclaimed by The New York Times as an artist that creates “theatrical magic”, her international career sees a diverse lineup of opera’s leading ladies at the world’s most important opera houses and concert halls.

The 2022 – 2023 season sees Ms. Martínez’s return to the stage of The Metropolitan Opera to sing the role of Donna Elvira in a new production of Don Giovanni by Ivo van Hove, conducted by Nathalie Stutzmann. Ms. Martínez also returns to LA Opera to sing Countess in a new production of Le nozze di Figaro conducted by music director James Conlon. Ms. Martínez makes appearances at the Toronto Summer Music Festival for a concert with pianist Craig Terry and as a guest teaching artist, as well as a recital with the Santa Fe Chamber Music Society, and as a Mosher Guest Artist with Music Academy of the West.

“In her distinguished career Ana María Martínez has achieved a level of operatic stardom that few artists enjoy,” said Adam Cavagnaro, Founder and President of Promethean Artists. “We’re elated to welcome this internationally acclaimed star to the roster of Promethean Artists, and anticipate a very long and highly successful collaboration in the years ahead.”

Ms. Martínez added "I am thrilled to join the roster at Promethean Artists! Their management team has their finger on the pulse of the current artistic climate and I know that I will be supported in unique and creative ways. I greatly look forward to our collaboration and to seeing our combined vision for my career come to fruition.”

Ms, Martínez is currently the first ever appointed Artistic Advisor to Houston Grand Opera where she advises on artistic planning, mentors and coaches the HGO Studio Artists, and engages with the larger Houston community on behalf of the Opera.

On stage during 2020-2021 season, in the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ms. Martínez was thrilled to join San Diego Opera as Mimi in their production of La Bohème, in the world’s first-ever drive-in opera production!
