WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME CANADIAN SOPRANO KIRSTEN LEBLANC TO THE DEAN ARTISTS MANAGEMENT ROSTER!
Described as a "major vocal revelation" (Le Devoir), New Brunswick soprano Kirsten LeBlanc is quickly becoming known for her rich and powerful voice, as well as an engaging stage presence. Currently a member of Opéra de Montréal's Atelier lyrique, Kirsten also recently obtained her Doctorate in Performance at l’Université de Montréal, having already completed a Masters in Voice and Opera Performance from McGill University. Recent credits include Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream and La bergère and L’écureuil in Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges at l’Université de Montréal, Nella in Gianni Schicchi with the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute and Hanna Glawari in Lehar’s The Merry Widow with McGill Savoy Society.
Gifted with a rich musical background, Kirsten’s work is distinguished by sophisticated craftsmanship that has enabled her to embark on a rapidly developing career. She works notably with the Opéra de Montréal, L'orchestre métropolitain, L'orchestre de l'Agora, and has participated at the Highlands Opera Studio, at ICAV-CVAI, as well as at the Halifax Summer Opera Festival. She has been the recipient of both the Abbé Charles-Émile Gadbois and George-Cedric Ferguson scholarships and, in 2019, she was a finalist in the Canadian Opera Company’s Ensemble Studio Competition. In the 2021-2022 season at Opéra de Montréal, Kirsten will perform the roles of Annina in La traviata, and Zweite Dame in Die Zauberflöte, and will cover the role of Jeanne Boitel in the creation of La beauté du monde.
