As a child from a military family, Kelli Butler was raised in a multitude of locales, including Germany & the Eastern US, where her love of opera blossomed at an early age. Since attending the Purchase College Conservatory of Music, training with Renata Scotto, and apprenticing with Bel Canto at Caramoor, she has become a familiar face in New York's opera scene and beyond!

Kelli performs regularly across the tri-state area and across the country, while continuing her studies with Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano Shirley Love and the acclaimed Canadian soprano Susan Eichhorn Young. She currently reside in New York with her husband Justin and their highly illogical pets, Bones & Scotty.
