Madison Barton-Holloway
Founder
Madison Barton-Holloway, soprano, is a proud Portland, Oregon native. She holds undergraduate degrees in Music Performance, French, and Business from Brigham Young University–Idaho (2022), and earned her Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (2025). Her operatic roles include Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi), Marie (La fille du régiment), Mme Herz (The Impresario), the Queen of the Night (Die Zauberflöte), Harlequin (Triumph of Love), Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Ilia (Idomeneo), and Girl 2 in the West Coast premiere of Errollyn Wallen’s Anon. On the concert stage, she has appeared as the soprano soloist in Handel’s Messiah, Fauré’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, and Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem. In addition to her performance career and Women of Opera, Madison is the co-founder and artistic director of Le Salon de Musique. This Utah based non-profit organization aims to expose young people to classical music and create a new generation of fans by hosting intimate salon-style performances and a savvy social media approach (lesalondemusique.org). Madison enjoys snow sports, cross-stitching, and spending time with her 110-pound dog, Miles. She also performs regularly in a jazz duo with her husband around San Francisco and Portland, blending her classical training with a love for improvisation.
Adellyn Mae Geenen is a versatile mezzo-soprano praised for her dynamic stage presence and stylistic range. She has performed across the United States and held principal roles in operatic and musical theatre repertoire at Lamplighters Music Theatre and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where she just completed her MM. Her recent credits include Princess Léonide (Triumph of Love), Paquette (Candide), Edith (The Pirates of Penzance), and Sibella (Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder).
This past summer, Ms. Geenen worked with Opera Parallèle, Pocket Opera, and West Edge Opera performing in five operas, two of which were world premieres (Harvey Milk: Reimagined and Dolores). In the fall of 2026, she will be returning to San Francisco Conservatory of Music to complete a Professional Studies Certificate in the Technology and Applied Composition department.
