Canadian soprano, Amelia Daigle has graced stages across North America and Europe with her rich, lyrical voice and expressiveness both as an actress and as a musician. In 2015 Amelia placed first among Canada’s most talented singers at the National Music Festival in Edmonton, Alberta where Miss Daigle was invited to perform at the Francis Winspear Centre for the closing ceremonies of the competition. Amelia also had the wonderful opportunity of traveling to Alcamo, Sicily to participate in the semi-finals of the Concorso per Cantati Lirici Internazionale di Alcamo followed by a series of concerts in Montreal with Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques du Canada. This past season, Ms. Daigle went on tour with Malfi Productions for the Canadian Premier of the opera, James Bond: A Convenient Lie. Amelia was also featured as a guest artist with Abridged Opera’s School Tour of Hansel and Gretel and in Opera Niagara’s Spring Showcase Concert under the baton of Aprile Millo in March.
Last summer, Amelia completed a six show run of her one woman show, Carmen's Dream at the Windsor-Walkerville Fringe Festival. The show depicts the famous gypsy, Carmen in a psychological thriller adaptation. Daigle wrote the story using pieces from Bizet’s opera Carmen, other folk elements and flamenco dance. Upon completion her one woman show, Ms. Daigle collaborated with Wagner's Apple Orchard and Estate Winery to direct and sing in a fully staged produced of Carmen outside in a barn while the audience was served wine and Spanish tapas. The shows were so successful that Wagner's would like to continue this partnership, presenting a new opera each summer.
Upcoming projects include performing the role of Sorella Cercatrice in Opera Niagara’s production of Puccini's Suor Angelica. Ms. Daigle is also thrilled to be invited to study and perform in Bussetto, Italy this summer under the tutelage of Maria Vetere, Richard Bonynge, and Aprile Millo. Following Ms. Daigle’s tutelage in Italy she will be performing the roles of Suzel in Mascagni’s L’Amico Fritz, and The Mother in Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors with Abridged Opera. Other highlights of this season include Cendrillon with the WSO in March, and Liu in Puccini’s Turandot in Toronto come Spring.
