Described by Opera News as having “an endearing timbre bursting with warmth… as close to perfect as opera gets”, Monica is an exciting, versatile soprano. This summer, Monica is excited to return to Opera Theatre of Saint Louis for their New Works, Bold Voices Lab and the International Meistersinger Akademie (IMA) in Neumarkt, Germany. For the 2021-2022 season, Monica joins the roster of the Metropolitan Opera in their productions of Ariadne auf Naxos and Brett Dean’s Hamlet.

Monica talks ‘process’

With newfound discoveries accompanying each of her performances, Monica discusses self discipline, dream roles and rehearsal experiences with Susan Graham. Resilience in demeanor and self-appreciation factor into her everyday creative processes. With these tools, Monica explores the quality time that strengthens her love for singing classical music.

“… Monica Dewey’s conversation is exactly like her singing — cool, clear, brimming with intelligence and charged with humor.”
