A self professed gypsy in heart and soul, singer actor Wren Marie Harrington identifies herself with everyone and no one. Once a diehard opera soprano touring Europe and America, she took a detour through musical theatre, notably Broadway, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, where as an understudy for the tempestuous diva Carlotta, she rescued many an ailing headlining soprano. The chameleon is currently busy exploring a treasure trove of global music idioms and celebrates her newest home with a debut recording Light Travels. Wren was born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Starting - as so many did- as a teenager in a church chior, she studied opera in college followed by postgraduate opera training in Germany, Italy and Austria. She has a Bachelor of Voice Performance degree from the University of Iowa and studied at the L'Accademia Vocale di Lucca in Italy, and the American Institute of Musical Studies in Austria. She toured as a concert soloist and leading soprano throughout the US and Europe and a short list of her credits include roles in La Boheme, Carmen, Hansel and Gretel, Der Rosenkavalier, Turandot, A Chekhov Trilogy (NY premiere), Don Pasquale and The Face on the Barroom Floor. Operetta and musical theatre credits include The Merry Widow, Bittersweet, Kiss Me Kate, Showboat, The Fantasticks, No, No Nanette, and Man of La Mancha.
