Baltimore native Loghan Bazan is a versatile contralto who has been praised for her “spirited voice” and “fierce and fantastic” stage presence (Theatre Bloom).
Her passion for illuminating truth and unlocking the power within us all has allowed her to breathe new life into her onstage roles. She has garnered acclaim for her portrayal of both operatic and musical theatre characters, being selected as a DC Metro Arts Best of 2016 Honoree for her performance as Maureen Johnson in Annapolis Summer Garden Theatre’s production of RENT, and a DC Metro Arts Best of 2014 Honoree for her “special standout” performance as Dorabella in Maryland Opera Studio’s production of Così fan tutte. Loghan completed an Advanced Music Certificate in Voice at Carnegie Mellon University in May 2022, where she performed in their production of L’enfant et les sortilèges as Maman/La libellule. Other roles include Maddelena (cover) in Rigoletto (Resonance Works), Stepmother in The True Story of Cinderella (The Pittsburgh Camerata), Zerlina in Don Giovanni (Blooming Voce Summer Opera), and Dorabella in Così fan tutte (Opera Camerata of Washington). She joined Pittsburgh Opera’s professional chorus roster in 2019 and has since performed in over 10 productions with the company, most notably as Bridesmaid in their 2022 production of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, and as part of the Choral Octet in their 2024 production of Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride. She is also a member of their “Opera Trunks” teaching artists team that brings opera to local schools and engages participants in a collaborative, “opera improv” presentation. Equally at home as a concert soloist and recitalist, Loghan was the alto soloist for Carnegie Mellon's 2018 performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony under the baton of Maximiano Valdes. More recently, Loghan was the Duruflé Requiem alto soloist for Shadyside Presbyterian’s All Saints Service of Remembrance. She has also been a soloist with The Bach Choir of Pittsburgh and Aria412. Additional highlights in the concert arena include the re-opening of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery in Washington, D.C., a tour of the D.C. area with the cross-genre, all-female group Sopranessence, and SongFest’s “Songs in the Key of LA” tour – a project in collaboration with Los Angeles Opera, where she worked closely with composer John Musto. Loghan holds a Master of Music in Opera from The University of Maryland’s Maryland Opera Studio and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Voice with a minor in Business Administration from Carnegie Mellon University. When she is not performing, Loghan can be found baking pies, encouraging others to reach their full potential while teaching cycling classes at Zenergy Cycling, and spending time with her husband and their two children. She also has an affinity for game shows and has been seen as a contestant on CBS’ The Price is Right and ABC’s $100,000 Pyramid. **As of January 2026** |
