Mozart; she also performed as Barbarina in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro with Portland Summer Opera Workshop, under the baton of Luke Housner, and as Susanna with The Opera Training Institute of Chicago, under the direction of Michael Ehrman.

Additionally, Jane has also performed in operetta and musical theatre, playing such roles as Aline in Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Sorcerer, under the direction of Matt Boresi, and Rapunzel (Into the Woods), and Johanna (Sweeney Todd). 

Jane has had the pleasure of participating in master classes taught by Nicole Cabell, Bob Heitzinger, Kurt Hanson, Harold Bauer, Tracy Watson, William Watson, Michael Ehrman, Theresa Brancaccio, and Rebecca Schorsch.
