About
Praised for “her natural warmth matched equally by innate lyricism” (Opera Canada) and “glittering brilliance with her soaring top notes,” (Opera Canada), Canadian soprano Nicole Leung looks forward to summer concert performances with Calgary Opera and Ammolite Opera. Most recently, she made her debut at Koerner Hall in Toronto, ON, performing Villa Lobos’ Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5. Nicole has been seen in the roles of Soprano in the House (Rocking Horse Winner) with Ammolite Opera, Adina (L’elisir d’amore) with Toronto City Opera and Calgary Opera, Pamina (The Magic Flute) with The Little Opera Company, as well as Frasquita (Carmen), Barbarina (Le Nozze di Figaro), Delia (Stone Soup) and Héro (Béatrice et Bénédict) with Calgary Opera. She has been a previous emerging artist with Opera on the Avalon, a laureate of Les Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques and has been engaged for concert performances by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and Edmonton Opera. Last Spring, she covered Orsia in Opera Parallèle’s world premiere The Pigeon Keeper, followed by covering Gilda in Pacific Opera Victoria’s production of Rigoletto.
Nicole is an alumna of Festival Napa Valley as a Manetti Shrem Vocal Fellow, The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, The McPhee Artist Development Program at Calgary Opera, New England Conservatory, and The Yale School of Music.

“Nicole Leung, who played Adina, had a delightful stage presence and a lovely voice to match. Her vocal warmth shone through in her more tender solos, while she was able to pull out a glittering brilliance with her soaring top notes.”
