MY WORK Hailed by critics as a singer with “lovely stage presence” a “silvery tone” and “exquisite mezza voce,” 26 year-old Canadian soprano Meghan Lindsay begins the 2012/13 season as Agathe in Opera Atelier's fall production of Der Freischütz. In the 2011/12 season, she made her North American debut as Donna Anna in Opera Atelier’s Don Giovanni both in Toronto and in conjunction with Opera Colombus.  In spring 2012, she sang Sidonie and Nymphe des Eaux in Opera Atelier’s production of Lully’s Armide, in Toronto, at the Royal Opera House of the Palace of Versailles, and at the Glimmerglass Festival. She received rave reviews for her performance, being described as "invitingly agile" and a "standout singer who "delighted the crowd with her sweet and sinuously expressive vocal delivery." Meghan Lindsay was a young artist with the Glimmerglass Festival and with Opera Studio Nederland, where where she made her international debut as Euredice in Pierre Audi’s production of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and her Concertgebouw debut performing excerpts from Don Giovanni and Le Nozze di Figaro. Other career highlights include Fiordiligi in Cosi fan Tutte, Contessa in  Le Nozze di Figaro, the title role in Massenet's Cendrillon, and Richard Danielpour’s Sonnets to Orpheus under the baton of Paul Nadler. Meghan is an accomplished concert artist who has been featured on CTV television and CBC radio; has represented the Royal Conservatory of Music in a tour of China; and has performed at various venues in Canada including the Creemore Music Festival and Barrie Colours of Music. In 2008, Meghan organized Opera for Oprea, a charity gala that raised $14 000 for the Robert and Maggie Bras Drug Cancer Development Program. Meghan is an alumni of the Royal Conservatory of Music's Glenn Gould School, where she received her Bachelor of Music and participated in the Artist Diploma program.    MY STORY I feel so fortunate to be able to travel and make music for a living and at only 26, have had the opportunity to sing on some of the opera world's most prestigious stages. I have performed in The Netherlands, France, Belgium, China, Estonia, the United States, Israel, and have established a flourishing career in my native country by working frequently with Opera Atelier. Just this summer, I performed Lully's Armide in the Royal Opera House of the Palace of Versailles- an experience matched only by being able to reprise the piece at the acclaimed Glimmerglass Festival. What I believe sets me apart from other performers is my commitment to the future generation of musicians, in addition to the future of my own career. Along with teaching young musicians, I present outreach programs with the companies for whom I work. Last year, I taught over 400 kids from the Toronto public school system about what goes into the making of an opera. This year, I will spend the holiday season participating in music workshops for Toronto families. I love my job! I love it so much, in fact, that I believe everyone has the RIGHT to the mind-opening, enriching advantages of music education.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR BELIEF IN THE POWER OF MUSIC!
