Sydney Baedke, soprano
Named a “rising star to watch” by Opera Canada, soprano Sydney Baedke has been described as possessing a voice of “exquisite lyricism” (The Guardian). Recent engagements include her Royal Opera House debut in The Rape of Lucretia, for which she was praised for her “unmistakably moving” portrayal of the Female Chorus (Opera Today), role debuts as both Mimì and Musetta in La bohème, and concert appearances with the Aldeburgh Festival and Carnegie Hall. In 2023/24 she debuted with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (Bruckner’s Te Deum), Pacific Opera Victoria (Contessa Almaviva, Le Nozze di Figaro), and returns to Montreal’s Maison Symphonique as the soprano soloist in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes. The first prize winner of Edmonton Opera’s 2023 Rumbold Vocal Prize Competition, she is a three-time prize winner at the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition.
