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.
