BIOGRAPHY

A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Ms. Mikheyenko is actively involved in bringing Russian repertoire to
audiences of all backgrounds. She has sung Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death with the Russian Chamber Orchestra of Marin, has been a guest artist at the annual Russian Festival of
San Francisco, and performs recitals of Russian Romances at venues throughout the Bay Area.

Ms. Mikheyenko's opera roles include Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro, Lucy in The Telephone (Bay Area Summer Opera Theatre Institute), Ida in Die Fledermaus (Bay Shore Lyric Opera), La Poésie in Les Arts Florissants (Opera Lafayette), Drusilla in L'incoronazione di Poppea (BASOTI), Second Woman and First Witch in Dido & Aeneas, Second Lady in Die Zauberflöte, (which marked Ms. Mikheyenko's European debut), Second Touriere in Puccini's Suor Angelica, (Berkeley Opera), and Saffi in Johann Strauss' operetta, Der Zigeunerbaron (The Gypsy Baron), with the Austrian American Mozart Academy in Salzburg.

In the world of contemporary opera, she has portrayed vastly different but equally fascinating characters. In Tom Dean's White Darkness, with the Oakland Opera Theater, Ms. Mikheyenko sang the role of Mary Ann White (wife of Dan White -- who in 1978 murdered San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk).

She has also had the opportunity to premiere four roles written for her, in three operas by Bay Area composer Lisa Scola Prosek: Salai (Leonardo da Vinci's lifelong servant and pupil) in Leonardo's Notebooks, Lucifer and Onesta Donati (a wealthy Florentine socialite) in Machiavelli's Belfagor, and most recently the part of a War Contractor in Iraq, in Trap Door.

Recent honors include First Place in the Art Song Division and Second Place in the Opera Division at the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of the NATS Voice Competition, as well as Semi-Finalist in the International Voice Competition hosted by the California Opera Association.

Ms. Mikheyenko has been a guest artist with the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, the Fortnightly Music Club of Palo Alto, the famous Caffe Trieste Sunday Afternoon Concerts, and has appeared twice on the national radio show West Coast Live! on KALW with host Sedge Thomson.

Upcoming performances include the role of Lennie Small in Mark Alburger's opera Of Mice and Men at the San Francisco Community Music Center in September. Check the home page for details.
