Her most prominent teachers include David Meek and the late Louise André. It was a great experience, learning how to control the voice and developing stamina with the dancing. Vocally, I sensed the body changing. The opera character she most identifies with is Constanze in Mozarts The Abduction of the Seraglio.

My second teacher Louise André explained that when girls reach womanhood, they are ready to sing. In person, she exudes a girl-next-door freshness, ready to talk shop or to simply share the health benefits of wild yams. She feels ready for the more lyrical coloratura repertoire such as Gilda in Verdis Rigoletto or Lucia di Lammermoor in Donizettis opera.
We worked more on resonance in the mask that helped me to get higher in the head voice.
After graduation, Kutan joined the Phantom of the Opera touring company for two years, understudying the role of Carlotta and singing in the ensemble. At Opéra de Bordeaux, she created the role of Pasiphaé in Philippe Fénelon’s contemporary opera Les Rois and sang The Magic Flute at the Opéra National de Paris.
She appeared in Carmina Burana at the Festival International des Chorégies d’Orange and the Orchestre symphonique de Toulouse in France. Although I will never eat a datura flower [to kill myself], I would make sacrifices for my daughter and husband.
Prior to becoming pregnant, Kutan normally spent two-thirds of the year away from her Pointe-Claire home performing abroad, mostly in Europe.

In 1996, Kutan made her professional operatic debut in the same role at Arizona Opera. He told me to follow my heart and said, If it doesnt work out, then you can do something else. After two years of music at the University of British Columbia, Kutan transferred to Laval University to study with renowned teacher Louise André, who steered Kutan towards the coloratura repertoire.
Under the ATMA label, she has recorded German Lieder for voice, clarinet and piano trio.

In concert, with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Aline Kutan has sung Ravel's Feu, Princesse & Rossignol in L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, W.A.
Mozart’s Bastien et Bastienne, I. Stravinsky`s title role of Le Rossignol at the Lanaudière International Festival as well as Gliere’s Concerto for a Coloratura Soprano Op.82 conducted by Charles Dutoit. It has helped me confirm my ideas, and Ive learned to use different imagery for each student. Kutans approach focuses on natural singing, there should be little stiffness or tension in the body, except in the air; the air must flow through the body and be used efficiently; have the sound vibrate in the resonators, out of the throat; sing the words like speech; never compensate with the jaw.
Montreals Lakmé is Kutans sixth time playing the role, and it marks her return to singing following the birth of her first child, Nadine, five months ago.
She idolizes Joan Sutherland for her great vocalism, but acknowledges that she finds fault in the great sopranos pronunciation and tempo.
