Mezzo Soprano Amanda Weatherall holds her MMus of vocal literature and performance from Western University.  She is from Cranbrook, British Columbia, where she had her first taste of the stage.  The highlight of her Cranbrook performances was playing Evangeline Harcourt in Anything Goes at Mount Baker Secondary and performing with Fort Steele Heritage Town as various historical residents. 

Amanda was thrilled to take part in the Yulanda M Faris Young Artist Program with Vancouver Opera, and performed as the Wife in the Music Shop, a Canadian Premier, and as Carmen in Carmen: Up Close and Personal, a new adaptation of the classic work by Bizet, during her time there.  Her other operatic credits include the title role in Bizet’s Carmen (Western), the chorus in Verdi’s Otello (Canadian Opera Company), Romeo in Bellini’s i Capuleti e i Montecchi (Opera NUOVA), Fox in Janáček’s Cunning Little Vixen (NUOVA), Olga in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin (NUOVA), Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaff (Western), and Third Lady in Mozart’s Magic Flute (Western).  She has performed with Tapestry Opera in their Songbook XI and with the Symphony of the Kootenays in multiple concerts.  Most recently she sang Filippyevna in Highlands Opera Studio’s production of Eugene Onegin.
