Today we’d like to introduce you to Monika Spruch
Hi Monika, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My journey has been a beautiful blend of passion, dedication, and a deep love for both music and fashion. I was born and raised in Poland, where my love for opera began at an early age. With a background in classical music and a strong interest in the arts, I pursued my dream of becoming a soprano singer. Over the years, I trained rigorously and had the honor of receiving multiple awards, including the prestigious International Opera Singer Award in Cannes, which affirmed my dedication to my craft.
In parallel, I ventured into the world of fashion and modeling, earning titles such as Mrs. Europe Global 2024 and previously being recognized as Model of the Year in Poland, which allowed me to travel and perform internationally. My experience in these industries inspired me to create Catwalk Opera, a unique concept that fuses high fashion with the grandeur of opera. Through Catwalk Opera, I aim to bring opera to new audiences by integrating it seamlessly into fashion shows, luxury events, and private gatherings, offering an unforgettable experience of elegance and artistry.
Today, I am proud to perform globally, collaborating with prestigious brands and events, and continuously working on expanding my reach to inspire and entertain audiences worldwide. My goal is to make opera more accessible and stylish while preserving its timeless beauty.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Like any meaningful journey, my path has not always been smooth, but every challenge has shaped me into the artist and person I am today. Pursuing a career in opera and fashion requires immense dedication, resilience, and continuous self-improvement. One of the biggest struggles I faced was balancing my passion for singing with the demands of the fashion and real estate industries, both of which require a great deal of time, effort, and commitment.
Relocating from Poland to the U.S. to pursue my dreams also came with its own set of challenges—adapting to a new culture, building a network from scratch, and proving myself in highly competitive industries. There were moments of self-doubt and financial strain, especially when investing in my training and career development.
This intense focus on my career also affected my personal life, including my relationships. The demanding nature of my work, constant travel, and the need to be fully dedicated to my craft sometimes made it difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s not always easy to find someone who understands and supports the commitment required to achieve success in these fields. However, I’ve learned that staying true to myself and my passions is essential, and I believe that the right people will support and encourage that journey.
Despite these hurdles, my love for music and fashion has kept me motivated. Winning awards like the International Opera Singer Award in Cannes and earning the title of Mrs. Europe Global 2024 have been milestones that reaffirm my belief in my vision. I’ve learned that success is not just about talent, but also about persistence, adaptability, and the courage to follow one’s dreams despite the obstacles.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a soprano singer and titleholder of Mrs. Europe Global 2024, with a passion for blending the worlds of opera and fashion. I specialize in creating unique experiences that merge classical music with high-end fashion events through my concept, Catwalk Opera, which presents live operatic performances alongside runway shows, luxury brand launches, and private events. My work allows me to introduce opera to new audiences in a stylish and accessible way, making it a perfect fit for glamorous settings while preserving its timeless beauty.
I am most proud of my ability to break traditional boundaries and bring classical music to unconventional venues, making it more relatable and engaging. Winning the International Opera Singer Award in Cannes has been a significant milestone in my career, validating my efforts and passion for my craft. Additionally, my background in modeling and real estate gives me a unique perspective, enabling me to connect with diverse audiences and tailor my performances to different settings.
What sets me apart is my ability to combine artistry with elegance and versatility. Whether I’m performing at a prestigious fashion week event, an exclusive luxury gathering, or a charity gala, I bring a blend of passion, sophistication, and storytelling to my performances. My journey from the world of modeling to opera allows me to infuse a fresh and dynamic energy into my work, captivating audiences in a way that feels modern yet timeless.
Beyond my professional achievements, I am dedicated to using my platform to inspire others and support charitable causes, such as my foundation, The Precious Foundation, which helps abused children and their mothers. I believe that music and fashion have the power to inspire, heal, and bring people together, and I am grateful to contribute to that mission through my work.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
The most important qualities that have contributed to my success are passion, perseverance, and adaptability. My deep passion for opera and fashion has been the driving force behind everything I do, inspiring me to push boundaries and constantly strive for excellence. This passion fuels my dedication and keeps me motivated even during challenging times.
Perseverance has been crucial in navigating the ups and downs of my career. Whether it’s overcoming personal challenges, facing industry competition, or balancing multiple pursuits, my determination has allowed me to stay focused on my goals and continue evolving as an artist and entrepreneur.
Adaptability has also played a key role in my success. The industries I work in—opera and fashion—are constantly changing, and being open to new opportunities, learning from experiences, and embracing innovation have helped me stay relevant and expand my reach. My ability to blend the timeless art of opera with modern, high-fashion experiences through Catwalk Opera is a testament to my willingness to innovate and adapt to new audiences.
Ultimately, staying true to my values of hard work, creativity, and resilience has helped me achieve success and continue growing both personally and professionally.
