About Hailey Clark:
An award-winning operatic soprano, Hailey Clark has garnered praise on the international stage for her signature character portrayals, as well as her versatility in operatic and concert repertoire spanning nearly three centuries. She was appointed to Blair School of Music as assistant professor of voice in 2024.
The winner of the Austrian Music Theater Prize for Best Female in a Leading Role (Alma Beers in Brokeback Mountain by Charles Wuorinen, The Salzburg State Theater, 2017), she has made a dynamic mark in both Europe and North America throughout her career. Recent appearances have included her debut at Wagner’s Bayreuth Festival as Freia in Das Rheingold, her debut at The Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam as the Queen of Hearts in the Dutch premier of Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Nedda in Pagliacci with Austin Opera, Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus with Central City Opera, Gerhilde in Die Walküre with the Dresden Philharmonic, Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte with Palm Beach Opera, and a return to her breakout role of Rachel in La Juive at the Hannover State Opera in Germany, which OPERNWELT hailed as “dazzling and powerful,” and for which OPER! Magazine awarded the company Opera House of the Year in 2020.
In addition to her classical career, the North Carolina native is an active singer-songwriter and pianist, recently releasing her first single, “Unraveled” (2023), and her debut folk EP, Sad Girl Songs (2024), across all streaming platforms. In 2024, she released her first children’s song in collaboration with German singer-songwriters on a Family EP entitled Für dich/For You, published by Oh, my music! A full album release of original songs remains on the horizon in 2025/26.
Clark holds a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Michigan School of Music and a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Maryland School of Music. She is also a proud alumna of the Freie Universität Berlin's FU-Best program in Germany.
