Music That Tells a Story

Soprano EMILY MARGEVICH is “a star in the making (Bachtrack), acclaimed for her “charismatic and commanding” performances (The New York Times). This “poised and fearless Prima Donna” (Musical America) has been on stage since age two, performing professionally in Musical Theatre throughout her childhood in the Midwest. Emily continues to earn praise as a “luminous soprano” (Wall Street Journal) with “a voice of liquid beauty” (Opera Magazine) that is “big and luxurious, with a cascading quality, like a bolt of silk dropped from a balcony” (Parterre). Now a Company Artist at OperaDelaware, Ms. Emily is most known for her portrayals of Tatyana, Musetta, and Donna Elvira.
