Simone Osborne, Soprano
Biography
Canadian soprano Simone Osborne has been hailed as "a joy to hear" (Los Angeles Times) with "a sweet and clear sound, sensitive phrasing and gleaming sustained high notes" (New York Times). Ms. Osborne was one of the youngest winners of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and recently completed her tenure as a member of the Canadian Opera Company Studio Ensemble.
In the 2013 - 2014 season, Ms. Osborne returns to the Canadian Opera Company as Oscar in 'Un ballo in maschera' and as Musetta in 'La bohème'. She makes her New York City Opera debut in a new production of 'Le Nozze di Figaro' directed by Christopher Alden and will join the Vancouver Symphony singing orchestral songs of Richard Strauss and as soprano soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. As first winner of Jeunesses Musicales Canada’s new Maureen Forrester Award, Ms. Osborne will tour Canada in recital with pianist Anne Larlee.
Last season debuts include performances at Carnegie Hall, Seiji Ozawa's Saito Kinen Festival, Zurich's Hallenstadion, and Walt Disney Hall with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Ms. Osborne is currently spending three weeks at Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute, where she is the 2013 Richard Kaiser Memorial Fellow in the Program for Singers. At Steans, she is studying song with such luminaries as Kevin Murphy, Michelle DeYoung, Stephen King, Denise Masse, Patricia McCaffrey, and Heidi Grant Murphy.
