MEZZO SOPRANO

Mezzo-Soprano Tessa McKenna holds a Graduate Diploma in Music Performance (Classical Voice) from the University of Melbourne. She is currently completing her first year of the Masters of Music in Opera Performance at The Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, under the tutelage of Dr. Heather Fletcher.

Music was a formative part of Tessa's childhood, beginning clarinet lessons at age 9. She quickly came to love music and singing, as she grew up playing in orchestras and later singing in choirs and ensembles. 

Prior to her musical studies Tessa completed a Bachelor of Science majoring in Zoology before deciding to make the switch to Opera. She is currently enjoying preparing the role of Baba in Menotti's The Medium as part of the Masters of Music.

Tessa very much looks forward to extending her opera knowledge, skills and experience and is very excited to be part of the 2024 OSA cohort!
