My friends and fans are the best ones I could wish for. Sorry for not being so active in my social media lately but even taking good care, me and my whole family was infected by the Corona virus. We’re fine under medical care but mostly the children need all the attention now. Soon I’ll be back to my normal posts of voice music and emotion. Take care!!"

January 2023. We decided to stop the Carmen Monarcha pages on this website. This is a fan website for André Rieu and the members of the Johann Strauss Orchestra, and it is growing bigger all the time. So, we decided to stop creating more pages for soloists who left the Johann Strauss Orchestra. Carmen was a beloved soprano with the group (first in the choir, later as a soloist) from 2002 - 2019 and she had great chemistry with André, performing her songs. Since she has left the Orchestra in 2019, married Octavio and got two children in Brazil, we decided to stop now with the Carmen pages on our movies site. In the meantime the years have passed and it is now 2023. We have collected 6 pages on this site about Carmen and her career. We, of course, will keep following her, her career and her family via her website www.carmenmonarcha.com.br, Facebook and Instagram, since she was and always will be in our hearts. Currently the children turned 5 (Victor) and 3 (Catharina) and we wish her a wonderful future. We say goodbye to Carmen and Octavio and blow them a kiss from Holland. In 2023 Carmen indicated that she wanted to restart her singing career in April 2023 with a masterclass in Brazil.
