... has been steadily building a reputation as one of Canada’s exciting emerging dramatic sopranos, captivating audiences with her warm sound, vocal power, and compelling stage presence. Critics have praised her “powerful” resonance (The Intelligencer), while audiences across Canada and Europe have responded to her emotionally charged performances in both opera and symphonic repertoire.
Recent highlights include the title role in Verdi’s Aida with Southern Ontario Lyric Opera, Leonora in Il trovatore with Opera Sustenida, Senta in Der fliegende Holländer with Opera by Request, and the Canadian premiere of Meladramma AI, a technology-infused contemporary work. On the concert stage, she has appeared as soprano soloist with the Kindred Spirits Orchestra, the York Symphony Orchestra, and the Burlington Symphony Orchestra in repertoire ranging from Verdi and Puccini to Shostakovich and Scriabin.
International appearances include performances at the MeerMusik Festival in Düsseldorf, Germany, and recognition as a finalist in Opera America’s Digital Excellence in Opera Awards, as well as semi-finalist distinction in both the Vincerò World Singing Competition and the Elizabeth Connell Prize for Dramatic Sopranos.
