Her opera credits include Adele in Die Fledermaus, Belinda in Dido and Aeneas, multiple roles in Susan Kander’s News from Poems,  Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance, Pamina in The Magic Flute, Josphine in HMS Pinafore and Miriam in Frank Bridge’s A Christmas Rose. Marie will join dell’Arte Opera Ensemble this summer to perform the title role in Cavalli’s La Calisto.
