Biography
Corinne Hayes is a stage director, dramaturg and educator, and has recently been named Head of Training Programs for Central City Opera's 2025 Festival Season. In the 25-26 season, Corinne will make directorial debuts with Washington National Opera (Revival Director, The Little Prince) and Opera Lafayette (Dido and Aeneas, new production), while continuing her tenure as Director of Acting for the Maryland Opera Studio.
The 24-25 season began with performances of Christian De Gré Cárdenas and Joseph Reese Anderson’s Orgullo at Joe’s Pub @ The Public in New York City; under Corinne’s leadership, the Maryland Opera Studio opened The Public’s Hispanic Heritage Month programming, marking the Maryland Opera Studio’s NYC debut. 24-25 continued with the premiere of Ashi Day’s new opera, The Fishwife, and a new production of Otto Nicolai’s Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor, both with the Maryland Opera Studio.
In the 23-24 season, Corinne leads new productions of Die Zauberflöte (Annapolis Opera) and FIorencia en el Amazonas (Maryland Opera Studio). Highlights of the 22-23 season included a new production of Don Giovanni with the Maryland Opera Studio, a staged reading of a new work by composer Justine F. Chen and playwright Jacqueline Goldfinger (TWA, based on a 17th-century murder ballad), a new staging of Le nozze di Figaro for Annapolis Opera, and a return to Miami Music Festival for L'incoronazione di Poppea. Alongside her role at the university, Corinne serves as Artistic Advisor for DC-based opera theater company IN Series, where she works closely with Artistic Director Timothy Nelson; with IN Series, Corinne conceived and directed a virtual production of Melissa Dunphy’s The Gonzales Cantata, directed the world premiere of ZAVALA-ZAVALA, and has served as Creative Producer on Black Flute, BOHEME in the Heights, and OTHELLO/DESDEMONA. Corinne’s long association with Washington National Opera includes serving as Assistant Director to Francesca Zambello (Candide, The Little Prince) and E. Loren Meeker (Don Giovanni). In recent seasons, Corinne has created new productions for Miami Music Festival, Opera Mississippi, and Winter Opera St. Louis; beyond the rehearsal hall, Corinne has presented courses and lectures at the University of Maryland, Temple University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and Webster University. As an assistant and associate director, Corinne is honored to have worked with such notable artists as Ken Cazan at Central City Opera, James Darrah at Opera Philadelphia, and Tito Capobianco at Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) in Philadelphia.
