Janine Kitzen (born 1 March 1978 in Kerkrade, The Netherlands) is a soprano singer in opera and musical theatre. Although she was born in a family with no real musical background, Kitzen knew from an early age she wanted to build a career in singing. At the age of ten, she sang her first public solo guided by André Rieu.

Kitzen studied solo singing at the Maastricht Academy of Music. After finishing this study successfully in 2001, she continued with a one-year program of musical theatre at the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Tilburg. During her study, the soprano performed in leading roles in operas, operettes and musicals. For example, she played Bastienne in Mozart's opera Bastien und Bastienne. In 1998 she won the first prize at the television contest Una Voce Particolare.
