Kelly Kaduce - Cio-Cio-San

Soprano

Previously at Portland Opera:
Mimi, La Bohème, 2009

Kelly Kaduce is swiftly gaining national recognition for her "plangent, amber-toned soprano, glamour girl looks and artless, affecting dramatic style." (Opera News).  Ms. Kaduce has garnered thunderous praise for her stage portrayals, most recently for her star-making turn in Lee Blakeley's production of Madama Butterfly at Santa Fe Opera. The Huffington Post called it  "a performance to treasure" and the Santa Fe New Mexican stated "Soprano Kelly Kaduce, as Cio-Cio-San (the "Madame Butterfly" of the title), stood at the head of the cast in every way. Her singing, never less than impressive, assumed mounting intensity as the evening unfurled."
