Biography

Zoe Zdrojewski, soprano, holds a Bachelor of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Music Degree in Voice Performance and Pedagogy from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. Throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic, Zoe seized the opportunity to create opportunities for herself in the world of virtual opera, making her international opera debut as a member of the fully online ensemble in Ravel’s L'enfant et les sortilèges with the virtual company VOPERA, in collaboration with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The following summer Zoe was cast as Virtù in FIO Italia's virtual production of L'incoronazione di Poppea. When a return to live performance was finally made possible, Zoe took the stage with the Ann Arbor Comic Opera Guild as Princess Minutezza in John Philip Sousa's The Bride Elect, and joined Detroit's Opera MODO in their rendition of #SuperFlute (The Magic Flute) as Toadette (Spirit #2). While at Peabody, Ms. Zdrojewski received the Artistic Excellence award and, upon her graduation, the George Castelle Memorial Award. Her appearances on stage at the conservatory included premiering two original pieces by Andrew Faulkenberry and Michael Mills with the Peabody Opera Etudes program and performing the role of Rosalinde in Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus with Peabody Opera Theatre. In addition to her operatic endeavors, during the 2024/25 season, Zoe was given the opportunity to grow her oratorio experience as an Emerging Artist with the organization Bach in Baltimore. Throughout her time with the group, Zoe was a featured soloist as well as a section leader and outreach singer. Zoe’s most recent credits since graduation include singing the role of Nella in Gianni Schicchi and covering the role of Ronaldo in Baldasare Galuppi’s hidden gem Il filosofo di campagna with FIO Italia in 2024 and making her debut as Musetta in La Bohème with Chicago Summer Opera this past summer.
