Siena Forest

“A first-rate singer and crackerjack musician,” Siena Forest has garnered the reputation as a “scene-stealer” on operatic and concert stages

 
 

Originally from Massachusetts, Siena relocated to the Twin Cities to join Minnesota Opera’s prestigious Resident Artist Program. Recognized for her arresting character portrayals and adeptness with interpreting new repertoire, Siena is a frequent collaborator workshopping and premiering new works, most recently with Minnesota Opera, Yale University, Really Spicy Opera, and OOPS MN, a non-profit she founded during the pandemic. She holds degrees from Indiana University where she studied with Carol Vaness.
