Madison Hatten is an American full lyric soprano praised for her “exquisite voice” and as “a joy to behold,” pairing sparkling coloratura with a warm, resonant lower register and an athletic, kinetic stage presence. Recent engagements include the title role in Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta (Tahoe Symphony), Baroness Gondremarck in Offenbach’s La Vie Parisienne (Pocket Opera), and Judith (cover) in Bartók’s Bluebeard's Castle with Opera San José. She is also recognized for Mimì in La bohème with the Northern Lights Music Festival and a Mozartian trio: Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with Boston Opera Collaborative, Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro with the Janiec Opera Company at Brevard, and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte with Boston Conservatory Opera, where she revealed “her fine sense of pitch that gave unusual accuracy and delicacy to her coloratura possibilities,” while exuding “an exciting physicality in her performances.”

 

Repertoire highlights include Micaëla in Carmen, Frau Fluth in Die lustige Weiber von Windsor, Liù in Turandot, and Kate Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. She is increasingly noted for work at the soprano/mezzo edge, including  French and Russian concert literature.

 

On the concert stage, Hatten’s recent work spans Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem and Exsultate, jubilate, Ravel’s Shéhérazade, and gala programs from bel canto showpieces to Strauss waltz repertoire. Appearances include collaborations with the Pioneer Valley Symphony, the Jarvis Conservatory, and ensembles across Northern California, the Mountain West, and New England, along with recital series in Napa Valley, Reno, and Boston.

 

Grounded by a rigorous sports and fitness background, she brings an athletic, agile physicality and focused musical storytelling to every performance. Current season news, video samples, and a full repertoire list are available at madisonhattensoprano.com.
