Chicago native, mezzo-soprano Olivia Gronenthal, combines her career in opera performance with a passion for new cross-disciplinary works that resonate with contemporary life. She recently made her Indiana University Opera Theater debut portraying Suzy in La Rondine. Her other roles include Hansel in Hansel and Gretel (Lyric Theatre at Illinois), Bianca in The Rape of Lucretia (Lyric Theatre at Illinois), the Third Lady in Die Zauberflöte (Toronto Summer Opera Workshop), and the Third Spirit in Die Zauberflöte (Vancouver Summer Opera Workshop).

Her opera chorus credits include Falstaff (Indiana University Opera Theatre), Xerxes (Indiana University Opera Theater), Little Women (Indiana University Opera Theater), Don Giovanni (Lyric Theatre at Illinois), and L’incoronazione di Poppea (Lyric Theatre at Illinois). An avid fan of new works, Gronenthal was a member of the 2020 Song Genesis Project, pairing singers, composers, and poets to create an entirely new work. Her team’s piece, Abaude on Cold Moon premiered in 2021. She also performed the role of Electricizer 3 in Elizabeth Gartman’s New Motive Power in its premiere at the Kohler Performing Arts Center.
She earned her Master of Music from Indiana University and her Bachelor of Music from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently a Performance Diploma student at the Jacobs School of Music, studying with Peter Volpe.
