  1. I started giving her voice lessons when she was twelve, but she looked and sounded like she was at least 18! She’s come a long way since then! I hope Opera Colorado will bring her back in Tosca when all of this is over.

  2. Thank you ,for sharing this . We hope to see her in Denver again . We were so looking forward to a Tosca .

  3. It was a pleasure to be in this production with Melissa. We have known each other for 22 years, and she has always been a great singer and a wonderful colleague. I am so happy to see her continued success.
