The beautiful and gifted American soprano, Phyllis Demetropoulos, has performed extensively throughout Europe. After returning to the U.S. to perform some of her signature roles, Miss Demetropoulos made a highly acclaimed debut with Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre at the Palace of Congresses in the Kremlin to which she later returned to sing Madama Butterfly and Violeta with Bolshoi costars. She made an auspicious debut at the Kirov Opera in St. Petersburg and has since returned to Europe for extensive engagements with the state theaters of Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Lativa, the Ukraine, Estonia, Georgia, and Russia.

​

Phyllis Demetropoulos sang a critically acclaimed La Traviata with the Nevada Opera Company in Las Vegas, Nevada and received their first standing ovation. She inaugurated the Natchez Opera Festival with Madama Butterfly. The soprano made her debut with the Memphis, Syracuse and Indianapolis operas, singing Alice Ford, and sang the Merry Widow with the Mobile Opera in her native city.

 

Miss Demetropoulos first attracted international attention when she made her European debut as Lisa in La Sonnambula at the International Festival in Corfu. She returned to Corfu to sing Ariadne, and made her debut with a Greek National Opera in Athens as Mimi in a gala new production of La Boheme.

​

Active on the concert stage as well, the soprano made her New York debut at Lincoln Center performing Rossini‘s Sabat Mater and the premiere of Dino Constantinides’ Lament of Antigone. Miss Demetropoulos earned her Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from the Florida State University, and later graduated from the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.
