Macy Halverson // Una Sorella Cercatrice
Macy Halverson, soprano, began studying at the University of Arizona in 2022. She is thrilled to be making her debut with Passion Project: Opera! in the role of Prima Sorella Cercatrice and as a part of the chorus for Puccini’s Suor Angelica.
As a third-year vocal performance student under the direction of Dr. Kristin Dauphinais, Macy performed her first principal role in an opera, appearing as Adele in Die Fledermaus. This past fall, she took the stage as the title role in Pauline Viardot’s Cendrillon and later this semester, she will appear as Madame Herz in Mozart’s Der Schauspieldirektor.
Other recent credits at the University of Arizona include the Stepmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, as well as ensemble roles in Thumbprint, Dido and Aeneas, and Le nozze di Figaro.
Additionally, Macy was invited to sing the role of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte at the International Lyric Academy in Vicenza, Italy during the summer of 2025. As a soloist in operatic and concert settings, she has shown herself to be a multi-faceted performer, dabbling in a wide range of styles. Macy took third place in the Amelia Rieman competition at the University of Arizona in March of 2024 and 2025.
