Welcome to the official web home of Soprano
Katie Van Kooten.
A recent graduate of the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden American soprano Katie Van Kooten, has been noted by The Daily Telegraph as “a major operatic talent. Her singing has something of the same glow radiated by Te Kanawa or Freni, and her endearing charm and bright smile make her a winning stage personality.”
Recently Ms. Van Kooten made her house debuts at the Metropolitan Opera in the acclaimed Nicolas Joël production of La Rondine as Magda and at Houston Grand Opera as Helena in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This season she also returned to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for performances of Antonia in Les Contes d’Hoffmann opposite Rolando Villazón and led by Antonio Pappano.
8/4/11 - Katie will be performing next for the New Orleans Opera October 15, 2011...
“Opposite Alvarez is Covent Garden's rising-star soprano, Katie van Kooten, who sings Mimi in a substantial soprano with a metallic glint that cuts effortlessly through the orchestra...She's at her best pouring despair and resolve into her description of her failing love affair.”
-- Erica Jeal, The Guardian
