Combining a love of music and drama with an academic approach to each role she prepares, soprano Madelaine Lane has appeared in recitals, concerts and productions in Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan and Rhode Island.

Born in New York City and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ms. Lane’s vocal career began when her mother, a journalist, brought her to a local theater audition she was covering. Ms. Lane auditioned and was cast in the musical theater production, which began a lifelong love of the stage. She continued to perform in local community theater throughout her childhood and adolescence along with performing as a soloist at local churches. During her collegiate years at College of the Holy Cross, she performed as a soloist, as well as a chorister.

More recently, Ms. Lane has been a frequent soloist at the Cathedral of St. Andrew in Grand Rapids where she has appeared as the soprano soloist in Fauré’s Requiem, Rutter’s Requiem and Vivaldi’s Gloria. 

In 2014, she appeared as the Cousin in the Opera Grand Rapids’ production of Madama Butterfly.  This role not only brought into the perfect combination of Ms. Lane’s favorite opera and composer, but was also in her hometown. 

In May 2015, she sang La Maestra delle Novizie and La Cercatrici in West Michigan Opera Project’s production of Suor Angelica.  In August, Ms. Lane participated in the 2015 Savannah VOICE Festival as a Sherrill Milnes Studio Artist. As part of the Festival, the young soprano sang Elettra in the quartet from Idomeneo, in a scene directed by Fabrizio Melano.
