Bella Diva Trio combines the talents of three beautiful, award winning opera singers: Lisa Eden, Shana Oshiro, and Kacey Cardin, into a unique blend of music drawn from both classical and current influences, best described as operatic pop.  The dream of Bella Diva was inspired by the seedling idea to reach beyond the boundaries that separate classical music from the contemporary audience.  As classically trained artists, these singers have the desire to present the highest caliber of vocal expression, infused with colors of the contemporary.  The ultimate goal of Bella Diva is to share this eclectic vision of classical singing with the world!   

The vivacious and talented soprano, Lisa Eden, who Plácido Domingo has described as “. . . a well rounded artist: she has a lovely voice, is an excellent actress, and a dedicated colleague,” knew from an early age that she was going to have a career in music.  She quickly devoted her life to singing – it is her primary passion and she delights in sharing this love she feels for music with audiences.  Critics, too, have taken notice of her expressive abilities.  The Washington Post hailed, “From her first note, Eden displayed a warm velvety tone, and a dignified presence… the sheer beauty of Eden’s sound would have been enough for a satifying performance… Phrases like ‘the night is clinging’[Amy Beach] and ‘we will descend quietly and slowly’[Strauss] showcased her talents for communicating imagery and her thrilling dynamic facility.”  Lisa brings her talents to Bella Diva as singer, song-writer, and music director.  To learn more about Lisa, visit her website: www.LisaEden.com
