Meet Tamara

Ms. Beliy holds a Master’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Music, with a concentration in opera, and a Bachelor’s degree in Voice Performance from Biola University Conservatory of Music. She is certified by Shenandoah Conservatory’s Contemporary Commercial Music Vocal Pedagogy Institute where she focused on teaching a variety of styles, including pop, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, jazz, country, music theater, and more. At the Berklee College of Music, Ms. Beliy expanded on her studies of CCM styles and pedagogy.

Most recently, Ms. Beliy spent six weeks in Italy singing the title role of Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni with Voci nel Montefeltro in the summer of 2023. Over the course of her career, she has also held the title roles of Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Mrs. Maurrant in Weill’s Street Scene, Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaff, Rosalinde in Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, and Suor Angelica in Puccini’s Suor Angelica. In 2016, she won the Concerto Competition at Biola University with her performance of Verdi’s "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca with the Biola Symphonic Orchestra.

Ms. Beliy has also received multiple highly-lauded reviews for her opera performances. In 2019, Voix des Arts penned the following of her: “Soprano, Tamara Beliy’s Meg in UNCG Opera Theatre’s Falstaff could not be overlooked, her vocal confidence paralleled by her vivid characterization.” A year later, Voix Des Arts reviewed UNCG Opera Theatre’s 2020 performance of Die Feldermaus and wrote, “Rosalinde’s (Beliy’s) trills and top Bs were sung with the supremacy of a woman who knows that she has the upper hand.”
