Saane Halaholo

Tongan-American and California native Saane Halaholo is already gaining recognition as a promising, young lyric soprano. Praised for performing with "power and gravitas," Ms. Halaholo’s repertoire includes New Prioress in Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, Susannah in Floyd’s Susannah, Contessa Almaviva in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, Léontine in Bologne’s L’Amant Anonyme, Blanche de la Force in Dialogues des Carmélites, Cunegonde in Bernstein’s Candide, and Nina in Massenet’s Chérubin. Equally comfortable on the oratorio stage, she has performed as the soloist in the Fauré Requiem, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, Haydn’s Harmoniemesse, Saint-Saëns’ Oratorio de Noël, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
