Career Trajectory
Park emerged from Seoul National University and Juilliard's prestigious opera program to win second prize at Operalia in 2015, launching her into the Lindemann Young Artist Program and a Metropolitan Opera debut as the First Wood Sprite in *Rusalka* in 2017. Over the ensuing years, she has become a fixture in the lyric soprano repertoire across Europe's leading houses—Glyndebourne, Bayerische Staatsoper, the Opéra de Paris, and beyond—establishing herself as a radiant, vocally secure interpreter of Mozart, Rossini, and the bel canto canon. Her 2020 exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon and the 2024 Opus Klassik Award for *Breathe* have solidified her status as both a stage artist and a significant voice on disc.
