Opera Singer

Robin Hahn (she/they) is a joyfully disabled operatic soprano, stage director, music educator and disability advocate. As a singer, she has been hailed as “sublime, with a beautiful resonant soprano full of colour” (Opera Canada), and her credits range from a production of Così fan tutte in the Netherlands, to appearances on Disney stages, to a Canada-wide tour as soloist with the Chinese Radio Broadcasting Orchestra.

As a stage director, Robin’s productions are recognized for reinterpreting and updating heteronormative stories, as well as for providing accessible theatre experiences for disabled audiences and performers alike. Most recently, she has directed queer, disabled, and covid-cautious productions of Pirates of Penzance; The Old Maid and the Thief; and Hansel and Gretel across the greater Vancouver area, which she calls home.

In 2011, Robin co-founded Opera Mariposa, Canada’s only 100% openly disability-led and -run opera company, and now works with arts organizations of all types to make their spaces, facilities, resources, and events more accessible and inclusive. She is also a YouTuber and Instagram creator, making fun, educational content about the intersections between opera and disability. She is represented by Kello Inclusive.
