Soprano 

About Me

Emma Humann is an American soprano who is currently based in London. This past spring, she

covered the role of Clorinda in Hurn Court Opera’s production of La Cenerentola by Rossini and

this past winter she played the role of Tormentilla in The New London Opera Group’s production

of Vaughan Williams’ The Poisoned Kiss. Last year she played Pamina in Keystone Opera’s

production of The Magic Flute and performed Bach’s Magnificat and Cantata 179 at the Royal

Academy of Music, where she earned her Masters Degree in V ocal Studies. She received her

Bachelor's Degree in Music from Oberlin Conservatory, where she had her operatic debut as

Fanchette in Offenbach’s Le Mariage aux Lanternes. She also covered the role of Gretel in

Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel for the Vienna Summer Music Festival in 2021. Particularly

interested in acting, Emma has an extensive background in musical theater which informs her

approach to communicating through different characters. She has performed in cities such as

Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Leipzig, Dresden, London, Cleveland, and Philadelphia.
