For more than 30 years, Mary Lou Fallis has brought classical music to audiences in Canada and abroad. A soprano, she is well-known for bringing her comedic, one-woman shows that lovingly poke fun at opera divas to small, large and remote venues across Canada and around the world. She promotes opera music through her work as a radio and television broadcaster, and has taught many young performers at universities and in master classes across the country.
