BIO
Commended for her “magnetic stage presence” and “crystalline soprano,” Claire Leyden is a singer and actress with an extensive background in musical theater, concert, and operatic repertoire. “Shapeshifting and likable” (NYTimes), Claire feels equally at home in everything from Shakespeare to contemporary opera, and the diversity of her recent performances speaks to her love of, and versatility in, the “crossover” repertoire.
(Leyden is pronounced “LIE-den”, like “Biden” or “Haydn” or “Poseidon”!)
