Michigan-born Susan Anthony has established a reputation as one of the world’s leading sopranos. Twice named "Singer of the Year" by Opernwelt for her performance of Maria in Strauss' Friedenstag in Dresden, and for her interpretation of Genievre in the seldom performed Chausson opera, Le Roi Artus , she is a much sought-after guest artist in the world’s major opera houses, including Paris National Opera, La Scala Milan, Bavarian State Opera, Vienna State Opera, Berlin State Opera, Dresden Semperoper, Tokyo New National Theater and New York City Opera.

Costa Rican mezzo-soprano Yuriria Rodriguez has been a prize winner at the National Society of Arts and Letters voice competition, in Bloomington, Indiana, and a winner of the 9th Annual Competition in the Performance of Music from Spain and Latin America, which allowed her to tour the United States as a sponsored artist of the Embassy of Spain, giving recitals of Zarzuela and Latin American/Spanish Art Song.

In 2006, she sang the role of Maria in the tango-operetta by A. Piazzolla and H. Ferrer, Maria de Buenos Aires, at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, which gained her a standing ovation in a sold out performance. Rodriguez has also sung the role of Despina in W. A. Mozart's Cosí fan tutte (Costa Rica) and was one of the three Rosales sisters in Indiana University's production of Oswaldo Golijov's Ainadamar, conducted by Carmen H. Téllez. Her reviews in local newspaper have acknowledge Rodriguez as a singer “with a beautiful voice which recalls a force of nature” (Herald Times, Bloomington, IN).

In the past Yuriria studied voice at Loyola University of New Orleans with Mary Tortorich and also in Costa Rica with Fulvio Villalobos. She holds a Bachelor of Music from Jacobs School of Music, where she studied voice with Teresa Kubiak and Carlos Montané. Yuriria is currently pursuing her Master of Music degree at Indiana University, where she continues her voice studies with Teresa Kubiak, and has received several honors, including an Olimpia Barbera scholarship and a graduate assistantship with the Latin American Music Center at IU. Most recently, Yuriria sung as a featured soloist in the University Singers performance of Mozart’s Requiem conducted by Richard Tang Yuk in Indiana University, and she did her opera debut at the MAC as Suor Osmina in IU’s opera production of Suor Angelica by Puccini this Spring 2011.

Jeffrey Wilkinson is an undergraduate junior at the University of Michigan, where since 2008 he has been earning a degree in voice performance. This is his second college degree; at Syracuse University, eight years ago, he graduated with a bachelor of science in television and film studies. Prior to the decision to return to school, he lived in Grand Rapids, MI, where he was a chorus member with Opera Grand Rapids and also starred in several non-profit Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, directing one of them while also starring in it. After becoming a student, he has had roles in various productions, such as last fall's "The Sorcerer".

The past two summers he has participated in music festivals, first in Italy with his voice teacher, where opera scenes were presented, and then in Bay View, MI where he starred in Mozart's Magic Flute. This June he will sing his first professional operatic role as Remendado in Arbor Opera Theater's production of Carmen. Thanks go to Rico Serbo, Robert Swedberg, Scott Hanoian and Jeff Picon, teachers whose advice, both musical and non-musical, has been indispensable.
