Caitlin has been hailed for her “touching” (Welt.de) and “no holds barred” (Qonstage) performances in a wide spectrum of repertoire, covering Purcell, Mozart, Massenet, Tchaikovsky, and more. Since her studies at The Juilliard School, she has been a sought after performer for both traditional works and modern music on American and European stages, interpreting the title roles in Carmen and La Cenerentola, as well as Charlotte (Werther), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia), and Komponist (Ariadne auf Naxos), among others. Caitlin also has a passion for performing new works, collaborating with composers (especially modern female composers in the classical music world), and creating her own interdisciplinary performances with fellow like-minded singers, dancers, acrobats, and actors. Initially trained as a classical artist, Caitlin has spent the last 5 years focused on experimental music and contemporary performance. Her contemporary repertoire spans a wide range of styles and includes works such as Gubaidulina's Perception Cantata, George Crumb's River of Life Songbook, Xavier Pàges-Corella's song cycle 'The Northwest Passage' (world premiere with Estudio Rosazul in 2024), Jeffrey Ching's Die wahre Geschichte von King Kong (world premiere with Theater Magdeburg in 2019), Jakob Druckman's Animus II, and Jakob Ullmann's Voice, Books, and FIRE series, as well as collaborations with various contemporary music groups such as the New Juilliard Ensemble (USA) and Phoenix16 (Berlin). Her most notable concerts include performances at Carnegie Hall, Nuremberg Serenadenhof with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, Palau de la Música Catalana (Barcelona) and Alice Tully Hall (Lincoln Center, NY), as well as Smetana Hall (Prague), Megaron Mousikis (Athens) and the Berliner Festspielhaus. |

Also an acrobatic singer, her first trapeze dance productions began with Australian composer Chloé Charody in 2021. This included 2 new circus operas shot in Berlin (Homeplay) and the subsequent premiere of a new work (JINGAH!) in Nottingham, UK. Caitlin made her Australian debut in February 2024 touring Charody's newest work for acrobatic soprano (Truth in the Cage), a song cycle based on the poetry collection of the same title by Manus Prison survivor Mohammad Ali Maleki. She has also joined the Berlin-based acrobatic collective A Movement of Humans in their 2024 touring show 'Now DEPARTING'. Currently in creation is a solo act on dance trapeze featuring classic operatic arias fused with electronic music, set to premiere in August 2024 in Germany. Caitlin was a resident young artist at the Internationale Meistersinger Akademie with Edith Wiens and Tobias Truniger, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, Crested Butte Opera Festival, and the Castleton Festival with the late Maestro Lorin Maazel.
