Hailed as “a luminous soprano” by the New York Times, Rena Harms has been praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for a “winningly liquid” voice as well as for her “dramatic vividness and vocal flourish.” She has performed leading roles with English National Opera, Opéra National de Bordeaux, LA Opera, Seattle Symphony, Theater Basel, Arizona Opera, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Baden-Baden Festspielhaus, Staatstheater Braunschweig, and San Francisco Opera/Merola.
In 2025, she was the soprano soloist in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony at the Mondavi Arts Center. 2024 engagements include Mrs. Ford in the Pocket Opera production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, Contessa in Le nozze di Figaro with Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera (SP&O), Poulenc’s Gloria with the Camellia Symphony, and a holiday concert with the Music in the Mountains. In the 2022-23 season, Rena made a role and company debut as the Stepmother in Alma Deutscher’s Cinderella with Opera San Jose, standing by for the title role of Tosca and stepped in last minute as Nedda in Pagliacci for SP&O.
Ms. Harms is a Grand Finalist of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and a two time GRAMMY nominee. She has sung under the batons of Bertand de Billy, Marco Armiliato, Placido Domingo, and Gustavo Dudamel.
