Mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah is a singer, actress and broadcaster who dazzles audiences with her engaging personality and her rich, expressive voice. Miss Nesrallah has performed for leading opera companies, symphonies, festivals and chamber music ensembles across Canada and the U.S., and around the world. Julie debuted as Isabella in Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri at Pacific Opera Victoria and went on to perform major roles including The Composer in Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, Suzuki in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Cenerentola in Rossini’s La Cenerentola, Carmen in Bizet’s Carmen, among others.
Concerts and festivals include engagements in Paris, Vienna, Hong Kong, Jordan, Macau, Columbia and Brazil. In 2015, Miss Nesrallah performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City and sang God Save the Queen for Will and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on their first visit to Canada on Parliament Hill in a performance that was viewed by millions. Miss Nesrallah was the sole vocalist in An Evening for Peace for Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan in Montreal.
Currently, Miss Nesrallah is the host of Tempo on CBC Music, Canada’s national classical music program, and is also the executive producer and star of Carmen on Tap, a company she created that performs Bizet’s opera Carmen as dinner theatre. Miss Nesrallah has been the recipient of several distinguished awards including the Canada Council for the Arts Emerging Artist Award and Mid-Career Grant, and most recently the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for her cultural contribution to Canada’s performing arts.
