Bio:

DR. JACQUELYN MOURITSEN ABBOTT, soprano, has loved singing from a very young age and began her vocal training not far from here in Kaysville, Utah. As she was pursuing an undergraduate degree in Communication Disorders at BYU, she felt singing was her true calling and went on to receive a master’s degree in Vocal Performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music and has recently graduated as Doctor of Music in Voice Performance with distinction from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.

Jacquelyn enjoyed teaching voice lessons and music classes at Utah State University in Logan, Utah; the Festival Conservatory in Logan, Utah, the International School of Music in Maryland; Music on the Hill in Washington, DC; Olmsted Performing Arts and Warren Henry Music in Ohio; as well as her own private studios in Maryland, Utah, and Indiana.

In addition to teaching, Jacquelyn enjoys singing and directing opera. At the Miami Music Festival (MMF), Jacquelyn directed a double bill of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Menotti’s The Medium, directed selections from Handel’s Radamisto, and served as associate director for John Corigliano’s Ghosts of Versailles. At MMF Jacquelyn also taught master classes, and classes in acting, stage movement, and audition preparation. She currently instructs in acting for singers with Utah Festival Opera's Youth Conservatory.

She has recently performed as Phoebe in "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Berta in Rossini's "Il barbiere di Siviglia", and will be performing as Frasquita in Bizet's "Carmen" in late 2024.
