Miss Stephens recently sang her debut of Poppea in Handel's Agrippina, with West Edge Opera. Critic, Victor Cordell for AllEvents wrote, "Hannah Stephens’ soprano is light and bright as Poppea.

Some past highlights of her operatic career include the Queen of the Night, Musetta, and Gilda. Miss Stephens enjoys the challenge of contemporary music, and is working with several composers on new works.
