Other roles include Nancy in Britten’s Albert Herring, The Mother in Stravinsky's Mavra, Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaff as well as The Witch in Hansel and Gretel. Caitlin was an apprentice with the Sarasota Opera, singing the roles of Cenerentola and Rosina in the Apprentice Artist Scenes program, as well as appearing in the chorus of the main stage operas.
As comfortable on stage in musical theater as in opera, Caitlin was a participant in the Northwestern University Musical Theater Program under the direction of Dominic Missimi. Favorite musical theater roles include Lilli Vanessi/Kate in Kiss Me Kate, the Witch in Into the Woods, Mama Euralie in Once on This Island and the Mistress in Evita. Caitlin also toured Graz, Austria in the musical theater review “The Great American Musical.”
