Maureen’s career focuses on celebrating music by living composers through her opera company Essential Opera, her concert series Crossing Borders, and her discography including 2x-ECMA-winning album Lighthouse and JUNO-nominated Breathing in the Shadows. As an educator, Maureen specializes in embodied voice, voice & movement play, and gender affirming voice work. Celebrated for her “rich, warm sound and masterful acting” (Opera Canada), she has created 13 Canadian opera roles. Maureen played Despina in HSOF’s inaugural production of Così and is now regularly on faculty. Maureenbatt.com @maureenbattsoprano
