Biography

Virginia founded ONCE UPON AN OPERA 2008 with the mission to ignite a passion in children for classical music.
A long-time resident of Los Angeles, Virginia is originally from Adrian, Michigan and attended Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance (opera). In New York City Virginia premiered lead roles in such Off-Broadway musicals as The Great Gatsby; It's A Wonderful Life; Little Women; Under Your Pillow and Pinafore in Blue. In Los Angeles she has sung lead operatic roles with Lyric Opera of Los Angeles, Casa Italiana Opera Company, Repertory Opera of LA, and El Dorado Opera.

Virginia is the proud mother of five daughters and amidst the chaos, she has developed this original art form that combines classical music, classical dance and classic fairy tales (albeit with modern twists) in an effort to get her own children interested in the Arts. What she has created has enthralled audiences of all ages and created a whole new generation of classical music lovers.
