An emerging young professional in the Chicago opera scene, Mary has performed with Third Eye Theater Ensemble, Chamber Opera Chicago, Verismo Opera, Main Street Opera, OperaModa, Opera for the Young, the DuPage Symphony and Chorale, the Music Institute of Chicago, Katydid Opera, and Chicago Symphony Chorus. With these companies, she has been seen as Lucia/Lucia di Lammermoor; Donna Anna/Don Giovanni; Fiordiligi/Così fan tutte; Rosalinde/Die Fledermaus; Adele/Le Comte Ory; Heroines/Les Contes d’Hoffmann; First Lady/The Magic Flute; Mimi/La boheme, Madame Lidoine/The Dialogues of the Carmelites; and Mlle. Silberklang/Der Schauspieldirektor, among others.
She has been an apprentice at Opera New Jersey, where she covered the role of Clorinda/La Cenerentola and at Opera Cedar Rapids, as Fiordiligi/Cosi fan tutte. A strong supporter of opera in unconventional venues and genres, she is a company member with Lingerie Lyrique, a Chicago-based opera/burlesque fusion company, with Opera on Tap, and with VOX 3, a vocal music collective celebrating opera, oratorio, and art song. This upcoming season Mary sings Lucy/The Telephone and The Girl/Hello Out There, and, in July, will co-produce a small human being.
