Praised by the press for her “clear, burnished voice” and “mezzo rich with an alto’s strength and a soprano’s shining top edge” (Tacoma News Tribune), Melissa Plagemann’s busy performing schedule spans opera, concert, and chamber music stages. She has recently appeared in concert and recital at the Banff Summer Arts Festival, the Icicle Creek International Chamber Music Festival, the American Harp Society National Conference, the Seattle Symphony, the Seattle Baroque Orchestra, the Second City Chamber Series, the Tacoma Symphony, and the Everett Philharmonic, among others. As a winner of the Ladies’ Musical Club competition, she was featured in recitals throughout Washington State. Recent operatic performances include Suor Angelica (Novice 1), Turandot (Handmaiden), Katya Kabanova (Žena), and The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs (Designer 1) with Seattle Opera, Le Comte Ory (Isolier) with Tacoma Opera, Madama Butterfly (Suzuki) with Vashon Opera, and La Traviata (Flora) with Skagit Opera, as well as productions of Hansel and Gretel (Hansel), Die Zauberflöte (Second Lady), Les Contes d’Hoffmann (Nicklausse/La Muse), Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Rosina), and Don Giovanni (Donna Elvira). Later this season, she will sing the role of Giovanna Seymour in Donizetti's Anna Bolena with Sky Opera, and will return to the Bellingham Chamber Chorale for performances of Mozart's Requiem. Melissa received degrees in music from the University of Victoria (Canada) and Indiana University, and has been a recipient of awards from the Banff Centre, the Sun Valley Opera competition, and the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society, among others. She lives in Shoreline with her husband and daughter, and teaches on the voice faculties of Pacific Lutheran University and Western Washington University.
