Hailing from Missoula, Montana, Italian-American soprano Madeline (Maddy) Braun is a young performer with dynamism across genres. She is equally comfortable performing in opera roles as she is in musical theater and straight theatre, with the energy and charm to have an eye-catching stage presence regardless of the role. Madeline is a first-year MM student at USC Thornton studying with Lynn Helding. Recent professional engagements include opera chorus with Pacific Opera Project, two seasons with the College Light Opera Company, and two mainstage roles at the Oregon Contemporary Theatre. Madeline holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Oregon State University, where she studied with soprano Amy Hansen. In her free time, Madeline enjoys rock climbing, reading spy biographies, and hanging out with her cat.
