| Once Upon a Time | Janet's Story | Scott's Story |

"Songs about love are more believable when listeners can fall in love with the singer. And that's exactly what happened... With her pure tone and delicate vocal shading, soprano Janet Chvatal wooed a willing audience... by the end of two hours, this enchanting singer had transfixed her listeners in a way that few classical singers are able."
- David Stabler, The Oregonian

Janet Chvatal is stealing the hearts of audiences where ever she sings. She is one of those rare artists, equally at home in the Opera House, in the concert hall, or in Musical Theater, and she continues to endear herself to the press as well as to the public, for her command of a remarkable combination of talents:


flawless technique:
"beautifully shimmering timbre...effortless in height...undeniably impressive...a precise, rich coloratura."
Hallundsposten, Sweden

exceptional musicianship:
"...an exquisite program of the highest artistic standard...the high-point was reached with the American soprano Janet Chvatal...sublime vocal culture."
Die Presse, Vienna

a mesmerizing charm:
"the audience was under the spell of the beautiful Janet Chvatal, a dynamic performance...she proved unstoppable...a sparkling spectacle"
The Loire Tribune, France

Her stage and television appearances in the U.S. and Europe are earning this young Soprano a place as one of classical music's most sought-after and up-and-coming artists.

"...For two days now the walls of the theater are trembling, hearing the American Soprano Janet Chvatal...the encounter was a genuine 'love at first sight'...she seduced the audience...how could one not be enchanted by Janet Chvatal? Such professional scenic presence, femininity, and enormous craft, this is a born artist." Dauphiné Libéré, France.

Janet began studying the piano at the age of five and started voice lessons at the tender age of fifteen. At twenty-one, she graduated summa cum laude from Boston University and traveled on full Scholarship to Europe for graduate study in opera. After winning two international voice competitions, she began a year long apprenticeship with coloratura soprano, Mady Mesplé.

Immediately following her studies, she was chosen to star as Christine in Andrew Lloyd-Webber's The Phantom of the Opera in Vienna, Austria and began making guest appearances in Opera and in concert throughout Europe. Her debut in Vienna's Konzerthaus with the Wiener Operntheater as Carolina in The Secret Marriage was followed by guest appearances with the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra singing Mozart and Rossini, and as a soloist in an Operetta Gala Performance in Prague, alongside other artists from the Vienna State Opera. She also sang the world premiere of a chamber work Miroirs, written especially for her by Swedish composer Tommie Haglund, for the Musik I Maj International Music Festival. She has since performed solo recitals in England, Germany, France, Austria, and on both the East and West coasts of the United States.

This phenomenal young coloratura recently made her German Television debut in a series of live telecasts of "Famous scenes from Opera" for Germany's largest television Network, ARD. The series called "Opera Light", airs to millions of Europeans over the next several seasons and is available on compact disc courtesy of the SONY label.
