performance at the Frederick Loewe Theatre in New York City was praised by the New York Times for “intensity, focus and a warm, passionate sound.” She has
sung at Teatro La Fenice in Venice, as well as in Rome, Berlin, Montreal, and across the U.S. Dr. Mastrian teaches at Peabody Conservatory and American University. More information can be found at www.staceymastrian.com
