Mezzo-soprano Maria Soulis began her operatic career as a principal artist with the Regensburg Opera in Germany, performing the roles of Carmen, Rosina, Dorabella, Nicklausse, and Orfeo, in theatres throughout Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In concert works from Bach to Mahler, her voice has been praised internationally by reviewers who have described it as “warm and powerful”, as well as “gorgeous, dusky‐toned” with a “ruby red timbre”.

“Maria Soulis, a rich velvet-toned mezzo soprano... has an indisputable star quality voice… her beautifully molded singing in the Bach cantata aria 'Ach, bleiben doch'. The voice spoke feelingly and a Handel aria from Xerxes was full of warmth.”

“The Canadian mezzo soprano Maria Soulis plays Rosina as a determined, larger-than-life sexy bit of fluff. She is a natural comedian and shows a feel for theatre.”
