- More About Amy Hansen
-
Soprano Amy Hansen’s lithe, exquisite voice and breath-taking acting have won her acclaim on operatic and symphonic stages alike. Opera Canada wrote of her title role performance with Calgary Opera, “Hansen was the complete Lakmé…she encompassed the virtuoso writing with ease, the top of her voice radiant, her lyrical singing meltingly beautiful…her acting pointed and convincing at every turn.”A featured soloist at the Kennedy Center, the Washington Post reported, “[the National Symphony Orchestra] accompanied soprano Amy Hansen, who lavished impressive coloratura skills on arias of Mozart…” The Oregonian called her “stellar”, “adorable”, and, when she debuted with Oregon Symphony, “Hansen sang the wickedly high “Queen of the Night” aria with poise and drama…she absolutely nailed the infamous high F’s… and the audience loved her.”
Ms. Hansen graduated with honors from Oberlin College Conservatory and, after studies at Indiana University, concertized extensively as a resident artist with the Portland Opera. She is a Metropolitan Opera Auditions regional finalist, Ellen Faull Gordon vocal competition winner, an Eleanor Lieber Awards winner, and Petri grant recipient. She can be heard on the Decca label recording of The Tenderland, conducted by Murry Sidlin and performed with Third Angle.
Ms. Hansen lives in Oregon and though singing has had to simmer on the back burner while she raised her children, you know a slow simmer brings out the richest flavor! Summer of 2018, she completed her MM in vocal performance at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She teaches voice at Oregon State University and in her independent studio and thoroughly enjoys performing regionally.
