Soprano Ryan Colbert has been praised for “rendering text with a touching tenderness” (Berkshire Fine Arts) and making "a feast of quirky dramatic contrasts...while smoothing it with a velvety vocal line” (ArtsKnoxville). 

In 2017, she made her New York City debut with OperaRox Productions at the historic Stonewall Inn as Mrs. Webster in Griffin Candey’s “Sweets by Kate;” a role she also performed with Marble City Opera and in the world premiere at the Midwest Institute of Opera.

Other credits include Alice Ford (Falstaff) with the International Summer Opera Festival of Morelia; Countess Almaviva (Le nozze di Figaro) with the University of Delaware Opera Theatre; Lady with a Cake Box (Postcard from Morocco) with Marble City Opera;  Donna Anna (Don Giovanni) with the Oak Ridge Philharmonia; and Erste Dame (Die Zauberflöte) with the University of Tennessee Opera Theatre. Ryan is currently based in Newark, Delaware where she is pursuing a masters degree in vocal performance at the University of Delaware.
