Testimonial: Suzanne Rigden, Soprano, former NSTT scholarship recipient

 

Hello to my wonderful supporters at the Nova Scotia Talent Trust Fund,
 
I wanted to keep you updated on some of my recent achievements, as you all were a part in keeping me motivated and financially able to continue. At this present moment I am rehearsing for an opera in New York City!
 
Canadian coloratura soprano, Suzanne Rigden, is currently in her second year with l'Atelier lyrique de l'Opéra de Montréal. This season Suzanne sang the Page Boy in Rigoletto and Sophie in Werther with l'Opéra de Montréal. She also participated in a tour of Québec with the show called Aleacanto, with Atelier Lyrique. In concert, Suzanne performed with Orchestre Symphoniques des Jeunes de Montréal in the Hommage à la Musique Tchèque and Magie de Noël as well as with Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal in La Magie de Mozart. Currently Suzanne is preparing Morgana in Alcina with the Pocket Opera of New York to be performed in March, which will mark her American Opera debut.
