Two of her favorite roles performed are Violetta in La traviata and Mimì in La bohème, both under the baton of Maestro Vlad Iftinka at Tri-Cities Opera. Another favorite has been singing the role of Clara in Po_rgy and Bess u_nder the baton of Maestro John Demain and the direction of Francesca Zambello at the Glimmerglass Festival.

Some other roles that Ms. Adeeb has performed include Nannetta in Falstaff, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Gilda in Rigoletto, and Bard 2 in Ben Moore’s opera Odyssey. In addition to performing operatic roles, Ms. Adeeb has enjoyed competing in vocal competitions, winning 3rd place in the Mid-Atlantic region of the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions, and 2nd place in the Deborah Voigt/Vero Beach Opera Foundation Inaugural International Vocal Competition.
