About Isabel O’Hagan
Isabel O’Hagan is a lyric soprano originally from the Great Plains city of Des Moines, Iowa, and is currently based in Washington, D.C. She studies with renowned voice teacher Rick Christman.
A classically trained violinist from a young age, O’Hagan’s instrumental background strongly informs her musicality, stage presence, and interpretive sensitivity as an emerging operatic artist. Critics have praised the “clarity” of her voice (DC Theatre Arts) and noted her dramatic range and “comedic talent” (MD Theatre Guide), qualities she brings to each role she performs.
Most recently, O’Hagan has performed leading operatic roles, including Laurie in The Tender Land, Monica in The Medium, Romilda in Serse, Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, and Adina in L’elisir d’amore. She is also an active member of both Washington Concert Opera Chorus and Washington National Opera Chorus.
