Anna Hashizume

Japanese-American singer-actor Anna Hashizume is a performer and voice teacher based in the Twin Cities area. After receiving both her Bachelors and Masters degrees in vocal performance, she is equally comfortable on opera and musical theatre stages, as well as onscreen.

Upon receiving her Masters degree, Anna joined Fargo-Moorhead Opera as a Young Artist. After her time there, she has been successfully navigating between performing in operas and in musical theatre productions. She’s worked with companies such as the Guthrie Theater, the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Theater Latté Da, Fargo-Moorhead Opera, Open Eye Theatre, An Opera Theatre, Theatre Elision, Mixed Precipitation, Artistry Theater, and Minnesota Opera.

In 2020, Anna was a part of the first iteration of the Decameron Opera Coalition - Tales from a Safe Distance. This project was named one of the “top industry-defining moments of the year” by OperaWire’s Best of 2020. In February 2021, this series was inducted into the Library of Congress as part of their Performing Arts COVID-19 Response Collection. The chapter in which Anna was a part was An Opera Theater’s production of The Sky Where You Are.

Anna is a two-time honoree of The Schubert Club’s Scholarship Competition. In 2017 she placed first in the division II group and in 2018 she placed second in the division III group.

As a voice teacher, Anna works with students to become confident, proficient singers and performers. She runs her own private studio and hosts a monthly Musical Theatre Masterclass. She also coordinates the Prelude Program at the MacPhail Center for Music alongside her colleague, Bradley Greenwald.

Anna will be playing Grace Farrell in Annie at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres during the 2026 holiday season.
