Mia Athey, mezzo-soprano, is a multifaceted performer, telling stories through opera, musical theatre, film and writing. A native of Hyattsville, MD, she’s been praised for her “plush mezzo” and “sincere delivery” by Opera Today.

In Spring 2022, Mia will portray Orfeo in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice at Opera NexGen, then return to Minnesota Opera in Bizet’s Carmen as Mercédès and Carmen (cover) for Denyce Graves’ directorial debut. Past operas/shows include: Flight, Elektra, and Show Boat.
