Hailed as “a singer to watch” (Classical Voice America), London-born mezzo soprano Joanne Evans prides herself on her versatility in spanning various musical genres - and on her comedic timing.
Of Joanne’s performance as Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaff at Berkshire Opera Festival, Opera News wrote that her “striking personal timbre and refined artistry... made [for] a memorable Meg—not always an easy feat.” As Olga in Eugene Onegin with Music Academy of the West this Summer, Joanne “was a magnificently earthy Olga, her rich mezzo tone and prescient temperament, perfect for the role” (Voice Santa Barbara).
As a Resident Artist with Opera Colorado for the 2022-2023 season, she will perform the roles of Giovanna/Maddalena (cover) in Rigoletto, Lucienne in Die Tote Stadt, and on tour as Stéphano in Romeo et Juliette.
Joanne was most recently named winner of the Marilyn Horne Song Competition and the Handel Aria Competition. Joanne is also a 2022 District winner of the Met Opera Laffont Competition, and a proud beneficiary of a Career Bridges organisation grant.
Elsewhere Joanne is credited as co-writer and vocalist of the theme song for the BBC show Pitch Battle (2017).
