 Praised for her “brilliant coloratura voice,” “world class” stage presence, and ability to “elicit beautiful passages with ease” Madeline Ross has forged a path in the music industry as a performer, collaborator, and educator. She is an award-winning and sought-after performing artist as an opera, concert, musical theater, and jazz vocalist; she serves as the Executive Director of Renegade Opera, Portland’s unconventional opera company; and she teaches voice at Reed College. 

Ms. Ross is known for her “supreme performance” of Ligeti’s Mysteries of the Macabre that is “simultaneously intense, dramatic, and humorous” and was a National Finalist of the NATS Artist Awards in 2024. She was hailed for “effortlessly nailing” her performance as Queen of the Night in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Recent performances include Witchfinder, Waking the Witch (Day) with Renegade Opera, Lucinda, Dark Sisters (Muhly) with Eugene Opera, First Woodsprite Rusalka (Dvorak) with Portland Opera, and Daughter in the world premiere of Qaqnus (Sahba Aminikia) with Music of Remembrance (Seattle).

Ms. Ross made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2019 as a jazz soloist where she “scatt[ed] to beat the band” (NY Concert Review). To see upcoming performances visit her website.
