Isla Cortez Burdette is a fifth grader at Webb School of Knoxville, and she is thrilled to be returning to this extraordinary production of A Christmas Carol. Prior to Isla’s Clarence Brown Theatre debut last season, she was seen on stage as young Carmen in Santa Fe Opera’s Carmen, the Page in Knoxville Opera’s Falstaff, and as Trouble in Central City Opera’s Madama Butterfly, where Opera News noted that she “played Trouble to perfection.” Isla has a passion for music and being on stage, and she also loves to read, dance, and let her imagination soar on her green swing.
