Voice Adjudicator: Elizabeth McDonald - Toronto Canadian soprano Elizabeth McDonald has been described as having a gorgeous, gleaming tone and powerful coloratura attack (Urjo Kareda The Globe and Mail) after her successful last minute debut in the role of Elettra in the Canadian Opera Company s 2001 production of Mozart s Idomeneo. She garnered more rave reviews the following summer performing with the Company in their popular Altamira Opera Concerts. Elizabeth graduated from the Eastman School of Music with a Master of Music in Performance and Literature and was awarded a Performers Certificate.
