More About The Detroit Opera Resident Artists
The Resident Artist Program is led by renowned opera coach and pianist Nathalie Doucet, Detroit Opera’s Head of Music. The program offers individualized study to cater to the unique needs of each artist and aligns with the country’s top training programs. Detroit Opera serves as a nurturing home for these rising stars, supporting and helping them achieve their full potential in the highly competitive opera industry. The program builds on the strong foundations of the Studio Artist program founded by the late Dr. David DiChiera, the company’s founder, while embodying the forward-looking leadership of Yuval Sharon, the Barbara Walkowski Artistic Director of Detroit Opera, President and CEO Patty Isacson Sabee, and Music Director Roberto Kalb. The program was reshaped in 2022 by Detroit Opera’s former Associate Artistic Director, Christine Goerke, to keep pace with the spirit of innovation, outreach, and community-building that has characterized Detroit Opera’s programming and administration since Yuval Sharon’s arrival in 2020.
For the 2025–26 season, Detroit Opera welcomes sopranos Brianna J. Robinson and Mia Mandineau, tenor Travis Leon Williams, and baritone Cole Bellamy.
