Olga Pudova

Soprano

Her voice is capable of producing stentorian and steely high notes as well as a magically floating pianissimo. Her coloratura work is superb, which is not a surprise considering that she was originally hired to sing the high-flying Queen of the Night in TDO's concurrent production of Mozart's The Magic Flute.
