Hanan Alattar — Soprano

Testimonial 5

"A half-size again larger than the birdlike voices so often encountered in this role... Alattar's Konstanze was one of the most enjoyable in memory and she's easy on the eyes, too.” —Mark Ketterson, Opera News

"Things looked up in the Café Momus act, where Texas-born Hanan Alattar brought vocal brightness and point to Musetta's waltz song and a cheeky vitality to her characterization." —George Hall, Opera News

Testimonial 3

"... distinctive, slightly dark but always gorgeous vocal quality that marks a star, in a complex but rewarding role. Expect to see hear and see more of her.” —Wayne Lee Gay, Star-Telegram

Testimonial 2

" Hanan Alattar was an equally expressive Constanze, and she betrayed no fear of the role's fiendishly intricate coloratura lines.” —Chicago Sun Times

Testimonial 1

"The languid progression of the third verse features Alattar unfurling graceful curlicues that spiral down, mimicking Persian folk singing. The work ends abruptly on a pure, ecstatic vocal high. It deserves to be heard again and again." —Chris Shull, Dallas Fort Worth
