About Me

Soprano Jacqueline Pimienta is a favorite with audiences in South Florida, where she is frequently heard in opera, Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, musical theater, and a variety of concert appearances. Most recently, she sang the role of Josephine in Gilbert & Sullivan's operetta HMS Pinafore for The Choral Society of the Palm Beaches and a concert of French art song and arias for the Norton Museum of Art's Live! at the Norton series. Prior to this, Ms. Pimienta made her radio debut on NPR singing some of the French art songs from her French concert program. She was the guest soloist in a concert given by pianist Inna Slusarenko, and has appeared as Frasquita in Carmen with The South Florida Opera Company in Wellington and as Lucy in The Telephone with The Piccolo Opera Company in Boca Raton. She was featured singing Mozart’s Alleluja with orchestra in the pilot of American Ideal, a new public television program. Ms. Pimienta will next sing the role of Clotilde in The South Florida Opera Company’s production of Norma.
Ms. Pimienta has appeared in many venues around the state, including a concert of Gilbert and Sullivan excerpts with South Florida Light Opera; Ellen in the musical comedy What About Luv? with the Royal Playhouse; as a recitalist for the Boca Delray Music Society; and as Miss Rose in Amici dell’Arte’s well-received concert production of Lakmé in Miami. She has also performed excerpts from Le nozze di Figaro, The Ballad of Baby Doe, and Hansel and Gretel as a member of Washington, DC’s Crittenden Opera Studio.
Her repertoire includes Frasquita in Carmen, Lucy in The Telephone, Clotilde in Norma, among others.
Ms. Pimienta received her Bachelor of Arts in Language and Linguistics from Florida Atlantic University, and is fluent in Spanish, French, and English. She is also trained in Middle Eastern dance and modern jazz. She currently resides in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is a student of Marjorie Gordon and Marie Ashley.

Influences: While I'd like very much to meet all of my favorite artists, whether living or not, I think my top four would have to be Prince, Mozart, Celia Cruz and Beny More. Not necessarily in that order, but they represent many sides to my love of music and singing.
