marje palmieri, soprano

a gifted and versatile actress as well as an accomplished musician, she has performed in opera and concert at the kennedy center, wolf trap, strathmore hall and many other important area theaters. 

writing of her performance in the washington premier of donizetti's maria di rohan, critic judy gruber wrote in the washington post: "she acted as well as she sang, which was very well indeed."

of her violetta joseph mclellan wrote in the washington post: "the performance subtly emphasized the bel canto elements, particularly in the often richly ornamented singing of marje palmieri (violetta), who had the finest voice in the cast and used it with intelligence and expressive power."

of her performance in the opera bel canto's petite messe solonnelle, joseph mclellan wrote in the washington post: "'o salutaris hostia' ... was beautifully sung by soprano marje palmieri."
