Jonelle Sills
Ensemble, Soprano, Treemo Understudy
Jonelle Sills is one of the most exciting young sopranos of her generation. Named one of CBC Music’s 30
hot classical musicians under 30, Jonelle recently made her company debut at the Canadian Opera
Company as Mimi in La bohème, a performance that was lauded as being a “beautifully sensitive Mimi
with careful control and colour” (The Globe and Mail). Her 2023/24 season also saw role debuts with
Edmonton Opera as Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Vancouver Opera as Micaëla (Carmen), Toronto
Operetta Theatre as Anna Glawari (The Merry Widow), and, in recital for the Prince Edward County
Chamber Festival with the Viano Quartet. Ms. Sills past highlights include her Canadian tour as Mimì in
La bohème with Against The Grain Theatre, as a recital soloist with Ottawa Chamberfest, and her
company debut with Toronto’s Against The Grain Theatre in Vivier Kopernikus, which earned her a 2019
Dora Award as a member of the ensemble.
