Miranda Brugman is a Maryland based soprano. She holds a Masters of Music from the Peabody Institute and Bachelors degrees in both vocal performance and physics. She has a voracity for learning and loves exploring new styles of music, as well as finding ways in which different genres of music inform each other. She grew up listening to a little of everything.

    Her roles include the little sister from Edward Barnes's The Hiding Tree, the first and second alms sister and the novice in Puccini’s Suor Angelica, the Sandman in Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, and Ernesto in John Davies’s The Billy Goats Gruff, as well as chorus in Puccini’s La Bohème, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, and many more. She participated in the Bel Canto Institute in Florence, Italy and Early Music Vancouver.

    She discovered her love for singing opera when she attended the Bel Canto Institute. Prior to that, she had listened to plenty of classical music and even played viola but hadn’t realized that she could have the best of all the arts she had done previously (including viola, dance, theater and musical theater, and so on.) Opera is a perfect marriage of many other forms of art, allowing for a complex, immersive experience. She loves finding richness and humanity in her performances and seeks to make performances with which people can really connect.
