"Shannon Jennings was a vision..."
- George B. Parous, Pittsburgh in the Round
Praised by the Washington Post for her dramatic intensity and vocal ability, soprano Shannon Jennings continues to wow critics and audiences alike. In the 2023-2024 season, Ms. Jennings dazzled in exciting role debuts and star billings, singing the title roles in Rusalka with Opera Orlando, Turandot with Gulfshore Opera, and Mimì in La bohème with Opera Las Vegas. As part of her 2024-25 season, Ms. Jennings performed her 5th production as Mimì with Charleston Opera Theater, and she returned to the title role in Rusalka with Wichita Grand Opera. In 2026, Ms. Jennings sings the soprano solo in Verdi's Messa da requiem with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra.

Ms. Jennings has been a featured soloist with Oscar-winning film composer Michael Giacchino. In 2019, she made her debut with the National Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra as the soloist in the world premier of Giacchino's ADVENT, to commemorate NASA's 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. She can be heard as a soloist in Giacchino’s 2020 solo album, Travelogue Volume 1 with Death Waltz Originals & Mondo Records.
