Since 2003, Marina Fideli has been a permanent member of the Opera House in Kiel. Her vocal expressiveness, her stage presence and her wide-ranging repertoire of the mezzo-soprano Fach are just some of the qualities, that have been standing out consistently all these years in roles such as Adalgisa (Norma), Giovanna Seymour (Anna Bolena), Preziosilla (La Forza del destino), Laura (La Gioconda),  Charlotte (Werther), Sesto (La clemenza di Tito), Orlofsky (Fledermaus), Carmen (Carmen), Eboli (Don Carlos), Isabella (L' Italiana in Algeri), Amneris (Aida), Ježibaba (Rusalka), Ortrud (Lohengrin), Giulietta (Les contes d' Hoffmann), Azucena (Trovatore), Küsterin (Jenufa), Suzuki (Madama Butterfly),  Brangäne (Tristan und Isolde), Larina (Eugene Onegin) and L. Begbick (The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny).

In the season 2013/2014, she was cheered by the Kiel audience particularly for her strong performance and her great vocal interpretation as Küsterin Buryja in the successful Kiel production of the opera Jenufa, which was crowned with the rare Opernfreund-Stern.

Her repertoire also features symphonic works, oratorios and lieder. Here upon, it is worth mentioning the Verdi Requiem, the Wesendonck-Lieder of R. Wagner and Das Lied von der Erde of G. Mahler.
