Stetson School of Music alumna, mezzo-soprano Melissa Serluco, has been a working classical singer in Germany for the past two years. Even with Covid-19 wreaking havoc on the performing world she has managed to keep her career going. She is happy to announce that she and her partner both have secured year-long Fest chorus contracts with the opera house in Freiburg Germany. She says, “How funny it is that I ended up in Freiburg! I wish I had done the exchange program back at Stetson now. I probably would have gotten serious about my German soon! Haha!” 

She is able to cover roles in Freiburg and her contract also gives her some freedom to audition for solo concert work and guest opera contracts at other theaters during the year. (Melissa was a voice student of Jane Christeson and later, Craig Maddox during her degree studies at Stetson.)
