"Corwin's pure-voiced Belinda gives even her happiest songs a tinge of melancholy."
Christopher Hoile, EyeWeekly
"Charlotte Corwin was a superb Belinda."
Tamara Bernstein, Globe and Mail
Lyric soprano Charlotte Corwin is one of Canada's most exciting young singers, and is quickly establishing herself as a versatile performer of both opera and concert repertoire.
A member of the elite Atelier Lyrique de L'Opéra de Montréal from 2005 to 2008, Miss Corwin performed the roles of Suor Genovieffa (Suor Angelica), Asphodèle (Chabrier's L' Étoile), The Governess (Britten's Turn of the Screw), and Flaminia in Haydn's Il mondo della luna. In addition, Charlotte understudied major roles including Violetta in La Traviata and Donna Anna in Don Giovanni and sang Mélisande in scenes from Pelleas et Melisande. Charlotte debuted as Juliette in the 2007 production of Romeo et Juliette with L'Opera de Quebec.
Charlotte received her Masters Degree in Vocal Performance and Opera from McGill University, where her operatic roles included Madame Lidoine in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmélites, Minerva in Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulysse, and Iris in Handel's Semele.
On the concert stage, Miss Corwin has sung with many of Quebec's leading orchestras and choral groups, including Les Violons du Roi (Chantons Noël) Cantabile Chorus and Orchestra (Mozart Requiem), St. Lawrence Choir and I Medici di McGill (Nuits d'Été, Berlioz; Poemes de l'amour et de la mer, Chausson). In British Columbia, Miss Corwin was featured in Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem with the Civic Orchestra of Victoria, and in 2008 presented “Operettas of the Silver Screen” with the Palm Court Light Orchestra of Victoria.
Charlotte closed 2008 as a soloist in Messiah with Toronto’s Classical Music Consort and with Orchestra London. As Flaminia in Haydn’s Il mondo della luna with Opera in Concert in January 2009, Geoff Chapman noted in Opera Canada: "lyric soprano Charlotte Corwin [was] compelling with secure intonation, comfortable coloratura and beguiling charm." As winner of the Joseph Rouleau Award "Best Artist from Quebec" in the Montreal International Music Competition, Charlotte presented a recital at St. John's, Smith Square, in London, England.
Highlights for Miss Corwin’s 2009/10 season include Belinda in Opera Erratica's innovative production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Lord Nelson Mass/Salve Regina (Haydn) with Aradia Ensemble, Cleopatra with Opera In Concert (Handel's Giulio Cesare), Gilda in Opera York's Rigoletto, and her debut as Fiordiligi (Cosi fan Tutte) with Pacific Opera Victoria.
