Dr. Greta Feeney is an American opera singer and recitalist from Nantucket, Massachusetts. A graduate of the Juilliard Opera Center, she was an Adler Fellow and featured artist for over a decade at the San Francisco Opera, where she sang a wide variety of roles in the lyric soprano repertoire, including several world premieres. As a concert artist she has been featured by the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and the Orchestra of St. Luke's, among many others. Her scholarly approach to singing lends itself to a specialization in medieval and baroque sacred music, as well as classical interpretations of traditional 'roots music'. A dedicated educator and music director, she has served on the faculties of Bergen College, the University of California at Santa Cruz, and was Chair of Voice Studies at the Concord Conservatory of Music and Powers Music School, where she founded Singing With Parkinson's, a concert choir program focused on voice habilitation and memory care. On Nantucket, Greta maintains an active solo performing career while serving as Director of Voice Instruction at Nantucket Community Music Center and Director of Music Ministries at St. Mary's Parish, also working part-time as a writer-researcher on arts, culture and the environment. She holds degrees from The Mannes College of Music (BM), Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music (MM), and SUNY Stony Brook (DMA), where her dissertation "Verdi and the Cult of Mary" explored how the great opera composer circumvented censorship of religious references on the operatic stage during the Risorgimento.
