About Diane Althaus, soprano

Singing is an essential part of life for Diane Althaus, and sharing it with others is a joy. She organized and sang in an opera ensemble program, including music from Simon Boccanegra, Cosi Fan Tutte, Martha, and Carmen. She and her husband, baritone Mike Dodaro, have sung duet programs of opera arias and art songs, and performed in various local venues, including Stage7. Diane sang in Puccini's Butterfly in a local opera company, the Countess in a duet from The Marriage of Figaro and Desiree in Sondheim's A Little Night Music. Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is her favorite sacred music.
