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. Most recently, Zoe joined FIO once again, this time live and in person in Urbania, Italy where she sang the role of Nella in Puccinni’s Gianni Schicchi, covered the role of Rinaldo in Baldasare Galuppi’s hidden gem Il filosofo di campagna, and appeared in the chorus of Mozart’s Così fan tutte. In the Fall of 2024, Zoe will debut as one of Bach in Baltimore’s Emerging Artists for their upcoming season.
