Soprano

Michelle Allie Drever

United States

Cantor

Artist

Approved

American dramatic coloratura soprano Michelle Allie Drever possesses an unusual combination of rich, powerful sound, effervescent color, and sprightly coloratura hailed by Opera Wire as “imbued with fiery relish.”

Most recently, Ms. Drever made her role debut as the eponymous diva in Tosca at Pocket Opera, and earlier this year, she premiered her first Donna Anna in Don Giovanni at West Bay Opera. Other credits include Violetta in La Traviata, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor, Königin der Nacht in Die Zauberflöte, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, and Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus at companies such as Utah Lyric Opera, Pocket Opera, LA Opera, and Miami Lyric Opera. She has also been featured at Pacific Opera Project, where her previous roles include the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, Le Feu/Le Rossignol in L'enfant et les sortilèges, and Violetta in La Traviata (cover).

A fiercely committed singer-actor, Ms. Drever is steadily gaining a reputation as a “force of nature” on the stage, praised as the “rare combination of actor/singer for whom opera was intended but all too seldom found” (Splash Magazine). She holds a master’s degree in vocal performance from the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music where she created the role of La Condesa in the world premiere of Juana by Carla Lucero. Her vast repertoire spans far and wide across the Western classical music repertory; however, she has a profound prodigiousness singing the works of Mozart, Donizetti, Bellini, and Verdi, as well as demonstrating emerging talent in modern opera and the Great American Songbook. 

An alumnus of the Renata Scotto Opera Academy under the direction of Renata Scotto, Ms. Drever is also a finalist of the Premiere Opera Foundation and National Opera Association vocal competitions. Later this season, she will create the role of Anne Sullivan in the world premiere of Touch, an opera based on the lives of famed disabilities advocate Helen Keller and her teacher, as well as her fourth Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute at Opera Mississippi. Additionally, she will be reprising her role as La Condesa in Juana on the forthcoming studio release on Parma Recordings. She resides in Los Angeles.
