Camille Rogers, Mezzo-soprano

Mezzo-soprano Camille Rogers (BMus, MMus) has been praised for their “tremendous stage presence” and “real flair for comedy” as well as their “gathered sound” and the “striking clarity" of their coloratura. Recent engagements include the role of Lake in FAWN's collectively improvised techno opera, Belladonna, Young Girl with Opera Atelier (Marriage of Figaro), and Isabella in L’Italiana in Algeri with MYOpera. Camille has been featured as a soloist with Cor Unum Ensemble and the Toronto Bach Festival, as well as U of T's Schola Cantorum under the direction of Paul McCreesh. They hold a Master of Music from the University of Toronto and have been the recipient of several major academic awards, including the Canadian Graduate Scholarship at the Master’s level, the Alberta Heritage Fund Arts Graduate Scholarship, and the Janet Stubbs Graduate Fellowship in Opera. Camille currently studies at the University of Toronto, pursuing a Master of Arts in Musicology with a Collaborative Specialization in Sexual Diversity Studies. Their research investigates how potentially problematic historical works of music theatre can be transformed and made relevant to today's audiences through the bodies of modern queer performers.
