Her diverse repertoire also includes Violetta in La Traviata, Musetta in La Boheme, Marie in The Daughter of the Regiment and Micaela in Carmen. Miss Barcellona is familiar to Vancouver audiences from her role as Laurey in the Theatre Under The Stars production of Oklahoma!, and she began her association with Vancouver Opera touring throughout B.C. and made her mainstage debut in their production of The Marriage of Figaro. Her extensive concert and operatic work has taken her from the United States to Italy and from New Zealand to Canada.

Although Mary Anne and her husband have resided in Toronto for the past four years, their true home is in Vancouver and the Gulf Islands of B.C.
