Monika Spruch’s odyssey from a young opera enthusiast in Poland to a flourishing entrepreneur in the U.S. is woven with melodies of passion, dreams, and unwavering dedication. As a child, the world was her stage, where reflections in a mirror became the audience, and grandmother's clothes transformed into costumes of a dazzling operatic diva. With each pretend curtain fall in front of her childhood mirror, a star was being nurtured, and the dream of Catwalk Opera—a harmonious blend of fashion and opera—began to take form.

With the wings of professional training after moving to the U.S., Monika soared into the realms of operatic performances. She received extensive operatic training in Los Angeles, New York and Tuscany, Italy when she was accepted to renowned school Bel Canto in Tuscany and performed in palaces and vineyards of beautiful Tuscany. The stages became grander, spotlighting her presence in vocal competitions, special events, and even the glamorous world of beauty pageants. Monika reminisces, "Opera was always my heart’s echo since I was a six-year-old, imagining myself as a diva, enveloped in music’s magical embrace."

The saga continues as Monika is set to shimmer as Mrs. Poland in the Mrs. Europe Global beauty pageant. The journey to this platform unfolded as naturally as a blooming flower—never a strategic goal but a pathway discovered as she immersed herself in promoting her unique brand. This convergence of beauty and talent stages became a global canvas, painting opportunities and intercultural exchanges.

Every event is an exploration, a delightful unity of cultures. "It’s like a beautiful tapestry of diverse threads coming together, sharing stories, traditions, and the universal language of art," Monika shares with a heart full of gratitude and excitement. Her preparation is a meticulous symphony of rehearsal schedules and fashion statements, reflecting not only aesthetics but the essence of stories and cultural signatures.

Fashion, in Monika’s eyes, is a universe of expressions. "It’s an incredible realm where creativity knows no bounds, captivating minds, bodies, and souls," she explains. Every attire tells a story; for instance, her gown carries the essence of Poland and tales of survival and hope, crafted by a designer who sought refuge from the turmoils of war in Ukraine.

Her eyes gleam with ambition as she stands on the threshold of the Mrs. Europe Global title. Challenges are companions in her journey, but passion plays the powerful maestro, orchestrating every step, decision, and performance. "It’s not just about investment, it’s a powerful engagement where every note sung, every dress worn, tells the story of my journey, aspirations, and the joy I find in making others happy," says Monika, encapsulating her spirit and vision.

To witness Monika Spruch enchant the audience and judges alike at the Mrs. Europe Global, you are invited to join this celebration of dreams, passion, and the mesmerizing world of opera and fashion.
