Vicki St. Pierre, mezzo soprano  

Reviews and repertoire (under construction)

Vicki St. Pierre's warm, lush voice "invitingly combines clarity of expression and beauty of tone", and is described as "rich with both a darkness and brightness."

Recently Vicki gave her opera début at Festival Vancouver in the Early Music Vancouver production of Monteverdi's L'Incoronazione di Poppea, followed by Toronto Philharmonia's production of Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, and Cleveland Opera's L'Incoronazione di Poppea. Highlights of her oratorio engagements have included Handel's Messiah and Bach's Christmas Oratorio (national CBC Broadcast) with Tafelmusik, and with the London Symphonic Chorus. Vicki also performed with the Toronto Philharmonia's Last Night of the Proms, Respighi's Il Tromonto with the Talisker Players, and a Pops program in her debut with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony

In 2004-2005 Vicki made her debut appearances with both the Edmonton Symphony and the Calgary Philharmonic orchestras, and returned to sing a program of French song with the Talisker Players in Toronto, and Handel's Messiah with the International Symphony. In early 2005 Vicki joined Opera Atelier in the title role of Charpentier's Acteon. She also toured a series of solo recitals in Canada and France with acclaimed pianist James Bourne.

Highlights of past seasons include Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Menno Singers, Raminsh's Magnificat with the Woodstock Singers, Handel's Messiah in Oregon, Handel's Judas Maccabbeaus with Chorus Niagara, Bach's Mass in B Minor in London, Handel's Coronation Anthem with the Aradia Ensemble and the Bell 'Arte Singers in Toronto, Honegger's King David, the Stanford Requiem, and a program of Bach Cantatas with the Toronto Chamber Choir.

A versatile artist, Ms St. Pierre's recent opera roles include Urbain in Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots, Malcom in Rossini's La Donna Del Lago, Isabella in Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri, Arnalta and Nutrice in L'Incoronazione di Poppea, and Third Lady in Mozart's Magic Flute.

Ms. St. Pierre was featured in the Canadian première of Ned Rorem's Evidence of Things Not Seen in Toronto, and she recently gave the world première of Galbraith's "Let Evening Come" with the Talisker Players.

Ms. St. Pierre holds a Master Degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Western Ontario.
