“An engaging performer, with a powerful voice and of impressive agility” (Revue L’Opéra), the coloratura soprano Natacha Demers dazzles as much by her enchanting voice and dazzling high notes as for her naturally charismatic stage presence and vibrant interpretations. Recipient of numerous grants and awards, including the Azrieli scholarship of Excellence, the Monique et Marc Leroux scholarship, from the Opéra Bouffe du Québec, and the Lieutenant-Governor’s Medal, she has won 1st prizes at the Pierre-de-Saurel Competition and the Ottawa Kiwanis Festival, and was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Premiere Opera Foundation International Vocal Competition. Natacha earned a Master’s degree in classical voice, awarded with distinction, from the Conservatoire de musique et d’art dramatique du Québec.

​​

Endowed with a versatile voice, she blossoms in a varied repertoire, equally in opera, recital and concert repertoire, always maintaining an engaging presence through natural and convincing story-telling. Some of her roles include Olympia (Les Contes d'Hoffmann), Tytania (A Midsummer Night's Dream), Belinda (Dido and Aeneas), Taumännchen (Hänsel und Gretel), Madame Herz (Der Schauspieldirektor), Amore (Orfeo ed Euridice, Gluck), and the Son (The Juniper Tree). 

 

Natacha has recently appeared as guest soloist in the Concerts Lachine's Notes et brioches recital series, as well as at the FestivalOpéra de Saint-Eustache, was selected as an artist in the Canadian Opera Company's Summer Opera Intensive 2024 and as laureate of the Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques du Canada, for which she participated in a series of concerts in front of international directors and their 30th Gala.
