Info for Queen of The Night (EP)

Constance Hauman
made her debut as a songwriter, pianist and producer with her debut solo album, Falling Into Now, chosen by The Guardian UK as #8 of the top 10 critics’ picks for the best pop album of 2015. Her 2nd solo album, High Tides, was released to critical acclaim and extensive radio play in January 2019.

She has toured the US, Europe, Australia and Japan with George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic for most of 2017-2019 with the indie funk rock band, Miss Velvet and The Blue Wolf for which she is the music director, keyboardist, co-producer and co-writer for both their debut and sophomore albums.

Ms. Hauman’s debut with the Vienna Statsoper (Dec. 2019) as Queen Elizabeth in Olga Neuwirth’s adaptation of Virginia Wolff’s Orlando marks her return to the classical stage.

Holding many credits in the classical world, Constance is perhaps best known for having the only live recording of Alban Berg’s Lulu (Chandos) in the fiendishly difficult title role; this historic recording has been reissued several times to continued acclaim since it was first recorded in Copenhagen in a series of performances at the Queen of Denmark’s Castle, designed to celebrate Copenhagen as the Cultural City of Europe in 1996.

She went on to perform the title role again in Ivo van Hove’s equally acclaimed new production of Lulu in Antwerp and Ghent which brought a collaboration with van Hove in the world premiere of this theatre piece Alice in Bed for New York Theatre Workshop.

In 2003 Hauman received stellar reviews for the world premiere of Alice/Renee in Olga Neuwirth’s and Elfriede Jelinek’s stage adaptation of David Lynch’s film Lost Highway which was an international event when Graz Austria was chosen as the Cultural City of Europe. Performances followed in Basel Switzerland. In 2004, the recording on Kairos was a recipient of the French Diaspon D’Or for outstanding new recording with Miss Hauman in the leading female role of Alice/Renee.

Constance catapulted to international success with the London Symphony when Leonard Bernstein chose her to fill in on 24 hrs. notice to replace an ailing June Anderson in the only performances he conducted of his operetta Candide. This legendary concert performance led her to over 150 performances of Cunégonde in Candide over a 6 year period.

She made her Royal Opera House, Covent Garden debut in 2000 for the re-opening of the Opera house in the role of Morgan le Fey in Harrison Birtwistle’s Gawain.

Her many credits include: performed and recorded with the Berlin Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony under Daniel Barenboim, San Francisco Symphony under Edo de Waart, London Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas, Seattle Symphony under Gerald Schwartz and the Japan Philharmonic, the Orquestra de Lisboa and the Vara Radio Orchestra Amsterdam and Radio France. She has performed a wide range of roles with the New York City Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Long Beach Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Dallas Opera, Washington National Opera, Michigan Opera Theater, Miami Opera, Toledo Opera, The Santa Fe Opera, Canadian Opera, English National Opera, Welsh National Opera, Opéra de Nice, Opéra de Marseille, Opéra de Tours, Opéra de Nantes, Opéra de St-Étienne, Opéra du Rhin, Opéra de Montpellier, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Opéra Comique, Opéra National de Paris, Rome Opera, Teatro Communale Florence, Spoleto Festival Italy, Spoleto Festival Charleston South Carolina, Spanga Festival Holland, Hong Kong Festival.

Constance is also the creator, writer, producer, performer of Exiles in Paradise, a documentary film/live performance recital with string quartet which spans the history, lives and Hollywood stories of Eastern Europe’s exiled composers in Los Angeles from 1932–1949. Exiles opened up the Jewish Museum in Berlin on September 10, 2001. It has been performed at the 92nd St. Y. New York City, Austrian Embassy, Washington D.C., Schoenberg Hall UCLA and in 2006 for a month of performances at the Falcon Theater (Garry Marshall) in Burbank, California.

A specialist in the Viennese School, Ms. Hauman has been championed for her recitals of the rare works of Zemlinsky, Berg, Schoenberg and Schrecker in Washington DC and New York City.

In February 2009 Ms. Hauman made her theatrical debut as Florence Foster Jenkins in Souvenir, A Fantasia on Florence Foster Jenkins at The Falcon Theatre in Burbank, California, to critical acclaim. She was nominated for Best Performance in a Duo Comedy by LA Theatre Awards.

Constance Hauman is a Richard Tucker Award recipient as well as being honored with a 2008 Alumni Merit Award from Northwestern University where she studied voice and political science. Originally from Toledo, Ohio, she received an Ohio Citizens Award in 2009 for Exiles in Paradise.

Merging her illustrious and varied classical career with her love for many musical genres, Ms. Hauman is the creator/founder of the independent record label Isotopia Records, distributed by Naxos USA and Proper Music UK.

In addition to her own label, Hauman has recorded on the Kairos, Teldec, Capitol, Chandos, Naxos and Sony labels. She can be seen as Kate Pinkerton in Frédéric Mitterrand’s critically acclaimed film, Madame Butterfly.
