Ms. Dyachek is currently a student at the USC Thornton School of Music, where she completed her MM in Vocal Arts, and is continuing in pursuit of a Graduate Certificate under the tutelage of Elizabeth Hynes. Commended by the Opera News for her \u201cimpeccably focused singing\u201d, last spring Dyachek performed the title role in USC\u2019s production of Iphig\u00e9nie en Tauride, where she was noted by the LA Times for her commanding portrayal of the title character. Her other recent engagements included the roles of Fiordiligi in  Cos\u00ec fan tutte, Tatiana in Eugene Onegin, both with the Aspen Opera Theater Center, as well as Madama Cortese in USC\u2019s Il Viaggio a Reims.<\/p>\n

While completing her BM in Vocal Performance at University of the Pacific Conservatory of Music, Dyachek appeared in a National Opera Association winning production of The Merry Wives of Windsor as Mrs. Ford, Pamina in The Magic Flute, and Mrs. Peachum in The Threepenny Opera. Dyachek\u2019s most notable other prizes include those received from the National Mondavi Young Artist\u2019s Competition and the Pacific Musical Society Competition. On December 6th, Dyachek can be seen performing as a finalist in the Palm Springs Opera Guild 32nd Annual Vocal Competition.<\/p>\n

Dyachek’s forthcoming operatic engagements include Vitellia in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito, Frau Von Daubek in Thomas Morse’s concert premiere of Frau Schindler, and Der Komponist in Ariadne auf Naxos- all with the USC Thornton Opera. As a testament to her academic achievements, Dyachek is a member of the prestigious music honor society Pi Kappa Lambda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
