Coloratura Soprano, Victoria Marie M. Olson, is a highly sought-after versatile artist with experience in both traditional and new music, but she specializes in music of the Baroque era with particular interest in cantatas, oratorios, and works for small chamber ensembles. Her performance career has taken her thoroughly through the Midwest all the way to Eastern Europe as a prominent featured soloist. Her most recent leading roles include Nella in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi with the Varna International Music Academy as well as Königin der Nacht in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte with Landlocked Opera of Kansas City and Heartland Opera Theatre.

Ms. Olson completed her Master’s in Music as well as her Artist Certificate with an emphasis in Baroque studies at the University of Missouri Kansas City’s Conservatory. Victoria was a student of Dr. Aidan Soder and Professor Dale Morehouse. She has been an honored and humble collaborator in numerous concerts, large-scale projects, and recitals with various ensembles in the Kansas City Area.

Victoria received her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she studied Music Education. While there, Olson was president of the choirs at the university and served as the student chapter president of the ACDA (American Choral Directors Association) organization for two years, recruiting over 40 members and attending regional and national conferences as a student, selected choral ensemble member and soloist. In addition to her vocal studies, Victoria holds a strong interest in music education and has served as clinician, adjudicator, and private voice instructor across the Midwest.

A Medical Office Coordinator overseeing clinical and clerical functions and efficiency at Neurosurgery of South Kansas City Medical Group by day, Ms. Olson continues to remain an active collaborating soprano, maintain her private studio, and serve as the soprano section leader at Atonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, KS.
