Acclaimed as the "quintessential diva," "bewitching," having "her own soubrette-ish delivery," as well as "wringing every bit of sentiment out of her aria," Abigail Krawson is garnering critical and audience praise for her energetic and heartfelt portrayals. Abigail is a dynamic performer, an engaging educator, and a passionate producer of innovative opera and vocal performances. She is on the roster of both The Portland Opera Chorus and The Portland Symphonic Choir, the Director of Children and Youth Choirs at Lake Grove Presbyterian Church, the Community Curator for Renegade Opera, a private voice and piano teacher, and also maintains an active solo calendar in and around Portland.
​
Abigail's 2025-26 season opens with Waking the Witch by Ashi Day with Renegade Opera. She will also sing the soprano solo in Carmina Burana with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Portland Symphonic Choir in September. The Portland Symphonic Choir is reprising their sold-out collaboration from 2024, Vespers, Rachmoninoff's All Night Vigil, with push/FOLD Dance Company in April. Abby returns to the Lake Grove Concert Series in March with her duo partner LaRiche Lamar in Tapestry and as a soloist in the Let Love Be Heard concert in May and a mission trip in June, traveling to Croatia and Slovenia. Also in May, Abigail will sing in the Portland Opera chorus performance of Verdi's Requiem. 
 
Recent season highlights include Bird Songs of Opera, Adele in Orlofsky's Party (a modern adaptation of Die Fledermaus) and Present Narrator in The Raven (a world premiere opera based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem) by Jesse Preis with Renegade Opera​. As a soprano soloist, she recently sang in Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living with Lake Grove Concert Series, Poulenc’s Gloria with Vancouver Master Chorale, Vivaldi's Gloria and Mozart's Vespers Solennes de Confessore with Eugene Concert Choir, and in Blythely Ever After, a rock/opera cabaret with Stephanie Blythe with Boston Lyric Opera.
 
Some of Abby’s favorite roles include the sassy and resourceful maid, Adele, in Die Fledermaus, the saucy and dramatic Musetta in La Bohème, the vocally punishing, but ever charming Zerbinetta in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, the charming Marzelline in Fidelio, and Adamo’s heart-wrenching Beth in Little Women. 
 
Abigail lives in Aloha with her partner Justin and their corgis, Sheldon and Coila. She enjoys spending time with friends and family over good food, taking in nature, following her astrology charts and making meaningful music.
