Ksenia is amazing 🤩

Ksenia did two arias for me at my birthday party and it was absolutely amazing. She was amazingly talented and her voice was beautiful. The room was filled with exquisite sounds. I couldn't have picked a better performer for my event.

So Happy I Booked Ksenia!

I booked Ksenia to cantor at my wife's funeral mass. Ksenia is *very* professional and personable. We exchanged many messages ahead of the event and she was extremely patient with me. Ksenia chatted directly with the music director and the organist to iron out the details. Ksenia's singing was simply exceptional during our service and her Ave Maria brought tears to my eyes! My family visiting was also really blown away with Ksenia's voice. Simply said ... Ksenia has a gift, her voice angelic and to experience it is amazing!

In the future I won't hesitate to book Ksenia!

Beautiful arias at our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner

Ksenia was wonderful! She has a lovely, pure tone and a delightful presence while performing. She was very easy to work with and sang pieces we requested, communicated very well and was timely. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful performance for our special evening.

About

Soprano Ksenia Popova has been hailed by The News Tribune as “a young soprano to watch.” She recently completed a successful run as the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor with Tacoma Opera. Prior to her Seattle return, Ms. Popova was a Studio Artist at Tulsa Opera where she covered the role of Marguerite (Faust). As a Resident Artist with Opera San Jose, she performed in the student matinee of Lucia di Lammermoor (as Lucia) and Il Barbiere di Siviglia (as Berta) as well as sang Madeleine in the West Coast premiere of Kevin Puts’ Silent Night. A frequent face in the Pacific Northwest, Ms. Popova made role debuts of Donna Anna (Don Giovanni) and Gretel (Hansel and Gretel) with Pacific Northwest Opera, Josephine (H.M.S Pinafore) with Opera Coeur d’Alene, Juliette (Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette), and Polly Peachum (The Threepenny Opera) with Tacoma Opera for which she was cited as possessing “a soaring, powdered-sugar soprano” voice.
In concert, Ms. Popova has appeared as the Soprano Soloist with Carmina Burana with Greater Seattle Choral Consortium (as part of the 2016 Folklife Festival), and twice with Sammamish Symphony Orchestra. She is a Metropolitan Opera National Council Third Place Regional winner, as well as having received several Audience Favorite and Encouragement Awards. Last spring, Ms. Popova made her Seattle Art Song Society debut as part of the Voices of Mental Health recital. Recently, Ms. Popova crossed over into Musical Theatre as the role of Pat Collins in the US premiere of Stephen Edwards’ Moon Landing at the Museum of Flight.
Ms. Popova’s other roles include Adele in Vashon Opera's Die Fledermaus, Queen of the Night/First Lady in both Portland Opera and Seattle Opera’s outreach tours of The Magic Flute, Musetta in La Bohème with Vespertine Opera, Fiorilla in Il Turco in Italia, Clarine in Platée, Lily in The Secret Garden, and Hélène in Une Éducation Manquée. Ms.Popova is the Founder of Opera on Tap Seattle, a nonprofit which brings opera to the masses via your local dive bar.
