Keren Hadar is a crossover Israeli soprano.

Born in Neve Ne'eman in the Sharon region of Israel, Keren is the third of four siblings. Keren's father, a businessman, was born in Israel and her mother, a secretary, was born in Yemen.

Hadar began her voice training at age 16 at the Petach Tikva Conservatory, studying classical singing with singer and conductor Nili Harpaz. After her army service in the Israeli Air Force, she studied at the Beit Zvi Academy of Performing Arts in Ramat Gan, specializing in musical theatre with Dorit Atzmon.

In her last year of studies Keren started appearing in Tel-Aviv's Cameri Theater as the singer in "Requiem" ("Ashkava") written and directed by Hanoch Levin. Following her studies at Beit Zvi, Keren continued to appear at the Cameri Theater in addition to performances with the Beer Sheva Theater in "Master of Two Servants" and "Owls", while collaborating with playwright, lyricist and literature researcher Dr. Dan Almagor in Hebrew songs, with the composer and translator Dori Parnes in songs by poet Hezi Leskali and with composer Yossi Ben Nun in songs by Federico Garcia Lorca.
