Latest Reviews:The Merry Widow- Dayton Opera:
"One could not ask for a better Hanna Glawari than that of Megan Monaghan. Petite, graceful, eminently eye-catching, full of charm and personality and singing with a lustrous soprano capped with high notes that sparkled like diamonds, Monaghan was the real deal, and the audience was swept into a frenzy. Capping it all off was an added attraction: Monaghan interpolated "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiss" (from Lehár's Giuditta) into the Act III party, sung with such ear-ravishing beauty that any man would melt on hearing it."

"Monaghan makes hay as the glamorous widow, displaying an attractive voice, an appealing stage presence and uncommonly beautiful upper register that the operetta gives her ample opportunity to display."

"Soprano Megan Monaghan shone brightly in the role [Hanna], casting a moonlit spell as she sang a fairy tale about "Vilja, a woodland sprite."Dayton Daily News Don Giovanni- Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra:
"Megan Monaghan was superb as the spurned Donna Elvira, projecting a voice of purity and beauty."
