Leslie Katter, Soprano

Award-winning soprano Leslie Katter is praised for her “shimmering tone,” “effortless high notes,” and “captivating performances” across opera, musical theatre, and concert work. Most recently, she recorded and made her film debut in a feature-length adaptation of Gordon Getty’s Plump Jack under Maestro Nicole Paiement, performing principal roles. Her “natural exuberance is contagious.” Recent highlights include Olimpia in Olimpia Vendicata with Ars Minerva, Lady Lilette Sauvoirfaire in the world premiere of By Georges! with Lamplighters Music Theatre, and Aveline Mortimer in Kevin Puts’s Elizabeth Cree with West Edge Opera. She made her professional debut as Die Königin der Nacht in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. On the concert stage, she has appeared recently as soprano soloist in Orff’s Carmina Burana and Dvořák’s Requiem. She holds degrees from Willamette University and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
