Ms. Montalbano lives in New Jersey and sings professionally throughout a wide geographic area with Opera Philadelphia, Trio Eos, and The Crossing. In the 2024-25 season, Ms. Montalbano continues to walk the line between the digital and live worlds, currently developing a staged performance using hybrid live electronics. She currently studies voice with Elizabeth Daniels. marenmontalbano.com
