Wendy Bryn Harmer (born c. 1980) is a dramatic soprano, best known for her roles in Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Born in Roseville, California, Harmer was raised in Bountiful, Utah, where she sang in the Salt Lake Children's Choir until the age of 17, and also played the flute.
In 2004 she participated in a nine-artist master class at the Villecroze Music Academy on the French Côte d’Azur, here first feeling a special attraction to the work of Wagner.
