Talise Trevigne
Last season, soprano Talise Trevigne joined the Metropolitan Opera cast to cover the difficult title role Antony and Cleopatra; she sang a program of Bach Cantatas with New York Philharmonic. Future engagements include Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 in Atlanta, Tippett’s A Child of our Time with Bournemouth Symphony in the UK, and the principal role of Naimara in Cincinnati Opera’s new production, Lalovavi.
Recent successes include the role of Violetta La Traviata in highly acclaimed performances at Calgary Opera and at Opera de Montreal—she was a past recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Award for the role in Graham Vick’s production at Birmingham Opera. Returning to Canada, she made a debut as Countess Le Nozze di Figaro at Calgary Opera and joined Cincinnati Opera for Mimi La Boheme while establishing the role of Patience in their world premiere, Castor and Patience, voted by the New York Times Best Opera of 2022.
“American soprano Talise Trevigne as Violetta and Canadian tenor Antoine Bélanger quickly established themselves à la hauteur of their roles both vocally and dramatically. Trevigne’s strong, soaring soprano, with a modicum of vibrato, rose to a silkily smooth coloratura in her effortless rendition of “Sempre libera”. Earl Arthur Love, ConcertoNet.com
“The cast is superb. Talise Trevigne embodies Patience’s passionate commitment, using her agile soprano to convey anger, frustration, nostalgia and acceptance… it’s a stunning performance, honest and compelling.” Donna Annina, Parterre Box, July 25, 2022
“…soprano Talise Trevigne, delicate but potent as the implacable Patience.” Zachary Woolfe, New York Times, July 25, 2022
The title role is grandly embodied in the Basel production by the American soprano Talise Trevigne…The focus is on Talise Trevigne as Butterfly, who in the second part provides a wealth of vocal highlights with her nuance-rich voice.
Martina Wohlthat, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, 31 March 2019
As the ingénue everyone’s in love with, Talise Trevigne lifts Nedda’s plea for freedom, “Stridono lassù,” to the rafters with sparkling coloratura flair.
