Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native Kelsey Ronn, is praised for being “fully formed musically and dramatically” (Opera Canada) and performs actively as a soloist, competitor and operatic vocalist throughout Canada and the United States. She is known for her euphonious tone, florid coloratura, and warm timbre.
Most recently, Miss Ronn was a part of the Institut d’Art Canadien Vocal in Montréal, QC, where she stepped in at the last minute to play Mimì from Puccini’s La Bohème. In addition, she made her soloist debut with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Naomi Woo during the Manitoba Hydro Holiday Tour (2022). Other notable works include: Opera McGill’s production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Donna Anna), Verdi’s Un giorno di regno (La Marchesa), Saskatoon Opera’s Die Fledermaus by Strauss II (Sally/Ida), Saskatoon Opera’s Mozart Re-reimagined (Constanze Weber), and was a finalist in McGill University’s Wirth Vocal Prize 2022.
Kelsey holds degrees from McGill University (M.Mus ‘22) and the University of Manitoba (B.Mus ‘20). Her mentors include Dominique Labelle and Tracy Dahl.
