Canadian mezzo soprano, Hillary Tufford is a versatile and engaging performer. A 2017 Graduate of Western University, (Masters in Literature and Performance), Hillary was invited to join the Yulanda M. Faris Young Artist Program at Vancouver Opera where she sang Hebe in their 2022 production of HMS Pinafore, and “almost stole the show” as Lola in their concert
performance of Cavalleria Rusticana.

 

This season, Hillary makes her Toronto debut with Elmer Iseler Singers in Messiah and is a guest artist in Duruflé’s Requiem with Victoria Philharmonic Choir. Hillary performed with Vancouver Bach Choir as alto soloist in performances of Rossini’s Petite messe solennelle and recently debuted in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with Kingston Symphony.
 

Hillary was “warm and fun as Hermia” in Vancouver Opera’s recent production of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and was a District Winner in the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. Hillary sang Flora in Brott Opera’s 2023 production of La Traviata, Alain Trudel conducting.

 

At Highlands Opera Studio’s production of Eugene Onegin, Opera Canada’s Dawn Martens wrote “Hillary Tufford was an engaging Olga, perfectly embodying the flirtatious innocence of the character, while also showcasing a rich, velvety tone”.
 

Hillary is a bursary recipient from the program Les Jeunes ambassadeurs lyriques, funded by Théâtre Lyrichorégra 20, and has received grants from the
RBC Emerging Artist Project and the Hazel Crydermann-Wees Foundation.
