Mezzo-soprano Michele Detwiler has sung over thirty roles with regional companies on the West Coast, favoring Mahler, Strauss, Bel Canto, and French repertoire. Critics have described her instrument as "amber-voiced", "a velvety mezzo-soprano voice with excellent range", with performances being cited as "riveting" and holding "center stage commandingly."

Since moving to Idaho, she has performed over a dozen roles with Opera Idaho, most recently as La Zia Principessa in Suor Angelica and Zita in Gianni Schicchi. Last season, she reprised Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), and Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater with Gemma Arts, returned to the Narnia Festival in Italy leading the Emerging Artist Program, as well as sang the roles Flora/Annina (La traviata) with MidAtlantic Opera. Additionally, she reprised her role of Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus) in her Opera Mississippi debut. She recently made her Opera Modesto debut as Anne Bale in Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Fallen Giant, returned to Opera Idaho as Gertrude in Roméo et Juliette, and led the Emerging Artist Program of the New Voice Festival. Upcoming performances include her role debuts of Principessa and Zita in Opera Idaho’s Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi and Dame Quickly in Opera Modesto’s Falstaff.

Currently, she resides in Boise, Idaho with her husband, baritone Jason Detwiler. Managed by Randsman Artists’ Management, Michele studies with Andrea DelGiudice in New York City.
