Frodyma's work includes performances in the Showcase Series at the Canadian Opera Company, and fellowships with Tafelmusik in her native Toronto, as well as summer seasons with the Académie Orford Musique, and SongFest.  The Polish-Canadian’s previous roles also include Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro,) and First Lady (Die Zauberflöte.) Frodyma has presented recitals of both solo and choral repertoire in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and she actively tours and gives workshops with the Canadian Chamber Choir. In November, she will perform Carmina Burana as part of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Chorus.
