Tiffany G. Hanson |
soprano |
A newcomer to the Juneau Opera scene, Tiffany received her Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Vocal Performance from the University of Central Florida. There she was able to craft her voice with Louis Roney, acclaimed operatic tenor and forty-year leading soloist throughout Europe and North America. While still pursuing her degree, she began teaching voice and piano. She taught privately and in the classroom for Seminole Community College. In sharing her love of music, she discovered in herself a passion and a gift for instructing. In Orlando, Tiffany kept herself engaged with many different projects. While attending school and teaching, she performed in Carmina Burana with the Orlando Opera Company. Other performances include Candlelight for Disney, Zerlina in Don Giovanni, Rapunzel in Into the Woods, The Mikado, and various solo recitals. She even found time for a number of conducting projects along with leading a weekly Exploratory Music class, creatively introducing children to new sounds and instruments. Leaving behind a full studio, Tiffany and her husband, Ryan, came to Alaska for a little change of scenery. With the establishment of her studio, Music Amore, and her partnership with the University of Alaska Southeast, she has grown a large following of dedicated students. In July, they welcomed their first baby into the world, and she has already shown to be quite the little singer. Projects and performances undertaken in Juneau so far include Music Director for Children of Eden with Perseverance Theater’s STAR Program, vocal coach for Northern Lights Junior Theater, Masterpieces of J.S. Bach for the Juneau Bach Society, Beauty and the Beast for Juneau Lyric Opera, soloist for Opera To Go’s Opera Spotlight, soprano soloist for Juneau Bach Society’s Bach and Mozart Christmas Program, Frasquita in Carmen with the Juneau Symphony, Belinda in Dido and Aeneas for Opera To Go, and Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi from Il Trittico with Opera To Go. Her upcoming roles include Soprano vocalist for Bach Cantata 192 with the Bach Society in December and the Soprano soloist for Brahms Requiem with the Juneau Symphony in April. A passion for teaching but drawn to the stage, Tiffany brings a unique spark of energy to Juneau. Her diverse balancing act will continue to be fueled by her love of Opera and the fine arts. |
