Emily D’Angelo
Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the world’s special young singers,” Emily D’Angelo has continued her meteoric rise and firmly established herself as one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed artists of her generation. Called “wondrous and powerful” by The New York Times for her recent US recital début, the mezzo-soprano is the first and only vocalist to have been presented with the Leonard Bernstein Award from the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. A 2020 Lincoln Center Emerging Artist, one of CBC’s “Top 30 Under 30” Canadian classical musicians, and among WQXR NYC Public Radio’s “40 Under 40” singers to watch, D’Angelo made her stage début, at only 21 years of age, as Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro at Spoleto’s Festival dei Due Mondi, where she was awarded the 2016 Monini Prize.
In past seasons, Emily D’Angelo made a string of widely acclaimed role and house débuts, further cementing her status as one of today’s most sought-after performers. As a Deutsche Grammophon exclusive recording artist, her début album, enargeia, was named one of the 50 best albums of 2021 by NPR, the best Canadian classical album of 2021 by the CBC, and received JUNO and Gramophone Awards in 2022.
