Jordan Knapick is an operatic soprano and musical theater singer, dancer, and actress. A northern Illinois native, Jordan Knapick has been a performer from the time she could walk and talk. From a young age, she loved going to dance classes and voice lessons, and after performing as an orphan in a local youth theatre's production of Annie at age eleven, she caught the theatre bug.

 

After participating in musical after musical, Jordan eventually decided to study Musical Theater at Oklahoma City University. After her first semester working with her voice teacher Jeffrey Picon at OCU, she decided to add a Vocal Performance double major. She had discovered a love for classical music and opera, and decided that crossover work between opera and musical theater was her dream. Some of her past credits include participating in Opera in the Ozark's 2019 summer season as a Studio Artist, making her Queen of the Night debut in a virtual production of The Magic Flute through LAH-SOW’s 2021 summer season, and performing in the chorale and as a Santa tapper in the OKC Philharmonic’s 2021 The Christmas Show. During the summer of 2022, Jordan returned to Opera in the Ozarks as an Emerging Artist, where she had the privilege to portray Lisette in Puccini’s La rondine and Anne Egerman in Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. She was most recently seen as an Emerging Artist at OperaFest Sewanee this past summer, where she performed in a scenes concert as Donna Anna from Don Giovanni and Giulietta from I Capuleti e i Montecchi.

 

Jordan graduated with her Bachelor of Music from OCU in May 2020, and she currently resides in Boston, MA. After taking two gap years during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began her Master of Music in Voice Performance in September 2022 at Boston University. She is excited to see what the future holds, as she dives into her graduate studies and continues to audition for various performance opportunities
