Praised by Opera News as “a true operatic artist,” and Operawire for her “irresistible musicality,” Stephanie Doche is among today’s rising mezzos. Ms. Doche has starred in leading roles nationwide, distinguishing herself in diverse styles and repertoire. Last season, Stephanie enjoyed a triumphant return to San Diego Opera as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia, where Parterre Box praised her “dark, round sound” and “irresistible stage presence.” She also received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Blanche de la Force in Dialogues des Carmélites with New Orleans Opera and returned to Washington Concert Opera as Idamante in Idomeneo. In the 2026-2027 season, Ms. Doche will return to Pittsburgh Opera in the title role of Gluck’s Orphée, Florida Grand Opera as Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia, and the role of Toledo in The Falling and the Rising (Redler/Dye) with Opera San Antonio. On the concert stage, she will appear with the Billings Symphony for her first Verdi Requiem, the Sheboygan Symphony for Handel’s Messiah, and she will join the Waterford Concert Series in Virginia for a recital.
