Hannah Rose Stubbs, age 18, loves all genres of music including opera, jazz and pop music. As the daughter of two professional musicians, she has been around music and musical performances her entire life, and has been performing since the age of five. She has spent her life involved in music and singing in one way or another. Hannah has received various high school music awards during her high school career, as well as being an honor scholar throughout her high school career.

 She is currently attending Pasadena City College to attain her Associates Degree in Music. In her spare time Hannah loves to read, write stories and songs, accompany herself on piano singing cover songs, as well as her own compositions. She is dedicated to her Arabian horse, who seems to be much calmer when Hannah is singing to her. She also spends time on various art projects, whether it be painting, crocheting, or making art out of old horseshoes. Hannah is happy when she is creating something, anything.  

 During the summer of 2023, Hannah participated in a summer workshop at the San Francisco Early Music Society Baroque Workshop and performed at the end of the workshop in two concerts.

 In December 2022 Hannah was cast as Edith in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance for Valley Opera & Performing Arts. She was also cast in the chorus of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliette with Mission Opera.

From 2017-2019, Hannah performed with Seattle Historical Arts for Kids, performing the role of Romilda in Handel’s opera Serse, which toured to the Berkeley Early Music Festival in 2018.

 Hannah spent two summers at The Wabe of Whidbey Island, a two week summer camp for people of differing abilities as mate, which is a helper to the handicapped. Everything from bathing and dressing to art projects, and creating a performance the end the camp.

 In December 2016 Hannah performed the role of Amahl in Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors with Pacific Northwest Opera in Mount Vernon, Washington.

 In January 2015 she sang in the children’s onstage choir for Seattle Opera’s production of Puccini’s Tosca.
