Vancouver-born soprano Erin Bardua has been praised for her “brilliant-toned voice, agile and strong, yet warm and relaxed.” She made her professional operatic debut as Anna in Pacific Opera Victoria’s 2000 production of Verdi’s Nabucco.
Other operatic roles include Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Nannetta in Verdi’s Falstaff, and Antonia in Les Comtes d’Hoffmann. She has also created leading roles in two new Canadian operas, Christopher Donison’s Eyes on the Mountain (with the Victoria Conservatory of Music Opera Studio) and Andrew Ager’s Frankenstein. With her Halifax performance of Donna Anna in Don Giovanni for Mozart’s 250th anniversary, Erin will have sung in Canada from coast to coast.
Also an accomplished concert soloist, Erin is a skilled interpreter of Handel’s perennial favourite, Messiah. She is an alumna of various training programs, including the Dramatic Integration (Contemporary Opera and Song) program at the Banff Centre for the Arts and the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute.
