About Erica

Erica J Fletcher is an NYC based soprano and actor from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. As a child, Erica made their stage debut giving musical performances at family parties in feather boas and plastic dress up heels. Their passion for performing only grew from there, and they took the stage in dance recitals, choir, and countless musicals and plays throughout their years in school. They chose to continue to further their craft at Hofstra University, where they discovered a deep love for opera. Erica then continued on to complete their Master of Music in Classical Voice Performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College.

Most recently, Erica has returned to the Hofstra University stage to sing Susanna in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. Before this, Erica had the privilege of singing two seasons at Opera North in Lebanon, New Hampshire, appearing as Little Red Ridinghood in Sondheim’s Into the Woods and Cupidon in Offenbach’s Orphée aux enfers in 2024 and Carrie Pipperidge in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel in 2023. As a Master’s student, Erica sang the roles of Governess in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, Laetitia in Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Theif, Despina in Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, Valencienne in Franz Lehar’s The Merry Widow and Belinda in Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. On the Hofstra stage, Erica sang Kaylee in Michael Ching’s Speed Dating Tonight! , First Lady in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Cherubino in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, and Hermia in Purcell’s The Fairy Queen.  They also appeared in many straight plays, including Phaedra (Aricia), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Titania/Hippolyta), Summer and Smoke (Nellie Ewell), Sorry, Wrong Number (Mrs. Stevenson), She Stoops to Conquer (Miss Neville), and We Are Pussy Riot or Everything is P.R. (Katya).

Erica is Dungeon Master of their Dungeons and Dragons podcast Tea&D, and appears as the voice of Vera Lockhart on audio drama You are the Ghost in this House and Naomi Grace on audio drama Points of Articulation. They participate in a wide variety of hobbies including cosplay (and occasional content creation), songwriting, and plenty of Dungeons and Dragons playing. They are a passionate performer and creative and are grateful for every opportunity they have to make art.
