Irish-Canadian mezzo, Wallis Giunta, has been named “Young Singer of the Year” in the 2018 International Opera Awards, “Young Artist of the Year” by The Arts Desk and “Breakthrough Artist in UK Opera.” She is a rising star, in demand internationally for her exquisite sound, effortless skill, and intelligent musicality.

Her 2018/19 season included UK debuts with the BBC Proms and the Grange Festival as Mozart’s Cherubino, with the MDR Sinfonieorchester as Haydn’s Berenice, and with the Royal Opera House Muscat in La Traviata. She also debuted the title roles in Carmen and Der Rosenkavalier, for Oper Leipzig, and Mozart’s Idamante for Toronto’s Opera Atelier.

Wallis is a passionate recitalist, having performed at Aspen, Caramoor, Banff, Luminato, Music & Beyond, and Ottawa Chamber Music festivals. In December, she will perform in Australia. She is the grateful recipient of multiple career grants. Accompanied by collaborative pianist Steven Philcox, she will present a program that includes Art Song & Lieder by Barber, Britten, De Falla, Schumann, Sondheim, and more.
