Award-winning American mezzo-soprano Lisa Marie Rogali has been praised for her “warm, nuanced voice” and “spontaneity” on the stage. This season, Lisa returns to Virginia Opera to make her role debut as Angelina (La Cenerentola). She brings her magnetic Carmen to both Toledo Opera and Gulfshore Opera, and returns to Detroit Opera as Offred in the Time Before (The Handmaid’s Tale). On the concert stage, Lisa is pleased to join Asheville Symphony for Mozart’s Requiem and Virginia Symphony Orchestra for Handel’s Messiah.

In the 2024–25 season, Lisa made her debut in the title role of Carmen with both Virginia Opera and Florentine Opera, with a portrayal hailed by The Virginian-Pilot as “not to be missed, a bang-up performance.” As part of Sarasota Opera’s Winter Festival, she reprised her charming Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia), garnering high praise from Opera with Opera News who called her “a Rossini star in the making.” She returned to the South Florida Symphony as the alto soloist in their annual Messiah, in addition to singing Paquette in their semi-staged concert production of Candide. She concluded the season by bringing her celebrated Rosina to Central City Opera.

Other recent highlights include her residency with Detroit Opera, where she performed Kate Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly) and the Dog/Woodpecker (The Cunning Little Vixen). She also made her role debut as Rosina with North Carolina Opera, sang Der Trommler (Der Kaiser von Atlantis) with Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, made her Carnegie Hall debut in Mozart’s Coronation Mass, and performed the title role in The Rose Elf by David Hertzberg with OrpheusPDX. She has received accolades from the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, Giulio Gari International Vocal Competition, Jensen Foundation Vocal Competition, Dallas Opera National Vocal Competition, and others.
