Soprano Haley Guerra has just graduated from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music under Heidi Grant Murphy’s guidance. A native of McAllen, Texas, Guerra earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas–Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), where she studied music education and voice, and performed as Frasquita in UTRGV Opera Theater’s all-Spanish production of Carmen. In fall 2022, she debuted at IU Jacobs Opera Theater as la princesse Laoula in Chabrier’s L’Étoile and was a soprano soloist with the IU Oratorio Chorus in Carmina Burana. She has been an apprentice artist with OPERA San Antonio, and her most recent role debut was Sarah Kavalier in the world premiere of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, a collaboration between Indiana University and the Metropolitan Opera. She received the Encouragement Award in the St. Louis district for the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition and, most recently, a Smith Young Artist with Cedar Rapids Opera in its 28th season.
