“An engaging performer, with a powerful voice and of impressive agility” (Revue L’Opéra), the coloratura soprano Natacha Demers dazzles as much by her luminous voice and effortless high notes as for her naturally charismatic stage presence and vibrant interpretations. She is the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships, including the Azrieli Foundation Scholarship of Excellence, the Opéra Bouffe du Québec Scholarship, and the Lieutenant Governor's Medal. She has won first prizes at the Pierre-de-Saurel Competition and at the Ottawa Kiwanis Festival, and was a finalist at the Opéra de Montréal's Atelier lyrique and the Camille Coloratura Awards.

 

Endowed with a versatile voice, she blossoms in many styles, in recital, in concert, and in opera. Natacha recently made a brilliant European debut as soloist with the Czech Virtuosi Orchestra conducted by Jaroslav Kyzlink. She has also appeared as soloist for the Concerts Lachine, Opéra Bouffe du Québec, Le Vivier, with the Orchestre Symphonique de Gatineau, the Hawkesbury Chamber Orchestra, Plaisirs du clavecin, and at the FestivalOpéra de Saint-Eustache.

Her roles include Olympia (Offenbach), Tytania (Britten), La Fée (Massenet), and Belinda (Purcell).

 

She was selected as a young artist in the Canadian Opera Company's Summer Opera Intensive and the Opernfest Prague program, and as laureate of the Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques du Canada.​
