Opera
Soprano Stephanie Hollenberg inhabits her stage characters with vividness and tenderness—and a good dose of humor. In past seasons Stephanie has sung the roles of Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro), Gretel (Hänsel und Gretel), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), and Papagena (Die Zauberflöte). A lover of the magical worlds that opera creates, Stephanie also considers it a privilege to sing the stories of people whose voices are often silenced or forgotten, shining their light and wrestling with their darkness.
“Stephanie Hollenberg absolutely stole the show as Cherubino, bringing a pluck to the character that makes him even more endearing than usual.” - Schmopera

“Stephanie is a wonderful voice instructor! I can already notice a significant difference in the way I approach singing. She allows you to bring your goals to the table and meets you exactly where you're at. Her price is beyond reasonable and she has been nothing but responsive and punctual. Definitely give the trial lesson a shot, you will not regret it!” — John, 25
Taizé Services of Prayer
An experienced leader of Taizé Services of Prayer, Stephanie regularly leads services for various worshipping communities. Currently, the Swedenborg Chapel in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA) hosts a Taizé service every first Tuesday of the month, co-led by Stephanie, Luke Concannon, and Reverend Sage Cole. In this 45-minute candle-lit service, we create a space for gatherers to seek communion with the Divine through community prayer, song, and silence.
The Taizé service of prayer is music-centered, using contemporary chants with short texts that are sung again and again, inviting individuals to meditate on the texts, deepen into them, pray through them. There is also a period of silence for personal reflection. All peoples and faith traditions are welcome.
Please use the Inquiries form to inquire about hosting a Taizé service in your community.
