Mezzo-soprano Michele Detwiler (born 1976, California) is an American opera singer.

Since 2000, the young mezzo has sung over fifteen roles with regional companies on the West Coast, favoring Mahler, Strauss, Bel Canto and French repertoire.

From 2001-2007, she was a Principal Artist and Guest Artist with Opera San Jose where she sang in eighteen productions ranging from lyric to dramatic repertoire. In addition, Ms. Detwiler has sung with Sacramento Opera, West Bay Opera, Trinity Lyric Opera, San Francisco Lyric Opera, Mission City Opera, and Apollo Sierra Opera.

Critics have described her instrument as "amber-voiced",[1] "a velvety mezzo soprano voice with excellent range",[2] with some performances being cited as "riveting"[3] and holding "center stage commandingly".[4]
