Hila Plitmann

Hila Plitmann is an Israeli-American soprano and actress celebrated for her luminous voice and fearless approach to contemporary classical music. Known for her crystalline tone and dramatic versatility, she’s become a muse for living composers like Richard Danielpour, Michael Daugherty, and Eric Whitacre (her husband), lending her voice to premieres and Grammy-winning works, including Jennifer Higdon’s *Singing Rooms*. A Juilliard-trained performer, she effortlessly hops between operatic roles, art songs, and crossover projects, even contributing vocals to film scores like *Star Trek: Into Darkness*. Recent releases like *Danielpour: Songs in 3 Languages* and *Mark Abel: Spectrum* showcase her knack for breathing life into modern storytelling through music, while her genre-blurring collaborations prove she’s as comfortable with haunting intimacy as she is with orchestral grandeur.
