Courtney Jameson

Mezzo-soprano Dr. Courtney Jameson is a recent graduate from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. She is proficient in the classical operatic, oratorio, and art song repertoire and the ways in which they influence healthy vocal production. Though trained classically, she has a strong love for musical theater and for showing how both styles can intersect. In recent years, Dr. Jameson has also taught pop, jazz, and folk genres through her private studio.

Dr. Jameson was a Gerdine Young Artist at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in 2017 & 2018 and returned in 2018 & 2019 to participate in workshops for Awakenings and Fire Shut Up In My Bones, which were commissioned by OTSL. Her highlighted opera credits include Laurene Powell Jobs (The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs), Bertarido (Rodelinda), Paula (Florencia en el Amazonas), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Angelina (La Cenerentola), and Dido (Dido and Aeneas). She also loves to engage with living composers and has premiered many solo vocal and choral works.
