THE PERFORMER
Christine frequently performs in the Twin Cities and surrounding area. She has recently been seen and heard on stage with Trompe D’oeil, Fortune’s Fool Theatre, Journey North Opera Co., Chameleon Theatre Circle, Long Lake Theater, and will make her debut mid-August with Frosted Glass Creative. She regularly plays a variety of roles as a troupe member with the Minneapolis Murder Mystery Co. troupe, where she has served as assistant director since 2023.
She has studied performance extensively. She earned a MM in Vocal Performance from the University of Minnesota and a BM in Vocal Performance from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Throughout her studies, she sang and performed roles in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Janacek’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Smetana’s The Bartered Bride, and more. Additionally, she has sung roles with Skylark Opera, trained as a Studio Artist with Mill City Summer Opera, and performed as a member of the Minnesota Opera chorus. While living in Germany, she performed with Passagio Oper as well as Hamburg Opera on Tap.
While in grad school, Christine was the recipient of the Dominick Argento/Carolyn Bailey Fellowship. She was also awarded 1st place in the University of Minnesota Concerto/Aria competition with the aria “Song to the Moon” from Dvorak’s Rusalka. Other awards include 3rd place in the Friday Morning Music Club competition in Baltimore, Maryland.
THE TEACHER
Christine began her private voice studio in 2013 and has since expanded it to include a diverse roster of singers, ranging from beginner to advanced and a wide span of ages. She teaches a classical technique that can be applied to any style of music. In addition to technique, Christine is well-versed in movable do, musicianship, and diction for several languages.
Christine has instructed learners of English for the last six years as well. She leads highly-interactive, speaking-focused lessons that cater to students’ needs. In Germany, she primarily taught business English and is comfortable exploring these topics, but she also plans fun and helpful lessons for learners as young as 5.
THE PERSON
When not teaching or performing, you might find Christine cooking, baking, running, and traveling. She also spends her free time playing with her crazy cat Cairo.
