Becca Conviser moved to Glencoe, IL from Chicago, where she attended New Trier High School and began her vocal and instrumental and theory training at the Music Institute of Chicago.[1] As a student she performed in productions across the United States, including New York City and Boston.[2][3]
She was the first American in history to reprise the role of Cizí kněžna in Dvorak’s Rusalka in the Czech Republic.[4] In 2020, she was grant recipient from the Grammy's producer, The Recording Academy, and was deemed an essential artist by the Czech Ministry of Culture, allowing her to perform during the recent Czech National State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]
As a permanent international guest of the J. K. Tyl Theatre in Pilsen, Czech Republic, she has performed in productions of Madame Butterfly, Rusalka, Die Braut von Messina, Nabucco, Carmen, La clemenza di Tito, and Armida.[7]
She is founder and director of the non-profit young artist program Opernfest Prague which provides education and training to young artists transitioning from conservatory to international careers.[6][8]
Conviser holds a Bachelors and master's degree from the New England Conservatory where she was the recipient of the Perkins Opera Scholarship, and a Professional Studies Certificate from the Manhattan School of Music where she studied under Lorraine Nubar [1][9] In 2015 she was the winner of the St. Andrews International Aria Competition, made her first tour of Europe, and performed at Carnegie Hall.[10][11]
