Natalie Arduino, mezzo-soprano, received her Bachelor of Music (cum laude) degree from Southern Methodist University and her Master of Music from the Mannes College of Music in New York.

As a performer, she has received critical acclaim in opera, concert and early music performances for her versatility, vitality and her “beautiful, clear voice and musical sensitivity.” Mrs. Arduino, an alumna of the Lyric Opera Center for American Artists (Chicago), has appeared throughout the country with many opera companies, festivals and orchestras, including Lyric Opera of Chicago, Dallas Opera, Ohio Light Opera, Opera Festival of New Jersey, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. She has sung in Carnegie Hall as alto soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Masterwork Chorus. She has sung with the Little Orchestra Society in its “Vivaldi’s Venice” series at Alice Tully Hall in New York and as the Mother in their production of Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors in Avery Fisher Hall with the composer present. Other performances include the role of Mary Magdalene in the world premiere of David Evan Thomas’s oratorio The FirstApostle in conjunction with Grace Song, Inc. in Houston, Duruflé’s Requiem with St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Dallas, a solo recital for Voces Intimae, and an appearance as a member of the operatic quartet aboard the APHC@Sea 2013 (A Prairie Home Companion). She recorded Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben for Grace Song Inc.’s “One Cycle Song Cycle” video offerings in 2020. Upcoming performances include an appearance with the Arts District Chorale as a soloist for Vivaldi’s Gloria and Bach’s Magnificat in December 2024. She can be heard as Miss Todd in Menotti’s Old Maid and the Thief, available on Albany Records.

Mrs. Arduino has been teaching voice for almost as long as she has been singing. She teaches all ages, but specializes in working with young voices in middle school and high school, helping them build their vocal knowledge and increasing their confidence as young musicians and performers.

In addition to teaching at the Covenant School, she is an Adjunct Professor of Applied Voice at Collin College and a section leader at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Arduino and her husband, Tim, currently reside in Dallas. They enjoy spending time with their two adult daughters, also musicians, and their grandson, Theo.
