Recent triumphs include her debut with the BBC Scottish Symphony under Thomas Dausgaard in Bernstein’s Songfest, the title role in Anna Bolena for both the Canadian Opera Company and Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Verdi’s Requiem with the Okanagan Symphony. Recent role debuts include Micaëla (Carmen) with Calgary Opera, Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni) with Pacific Opera Victoria, and Chrysothemis (Elektra) with Edmonton Opera. The Ryan Opera Center alum will once again join the roster of the Canadian Opera Company for their highly anticipated Spring production of Verdi's Macbeth, followed by Bernstein’s Songfest with the Seattle Symphony, conducted by Marin Alsop. Engagements that have been postponed due to Covid-19 include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Denver Symphony at the famed Red Rocks Amphiteater, the title role in Anna Bolena for the Edmonton Opera, Musetta (La bohème) with Fort Worth Opera, and Leonore (Fidelio) with the Calgary Opera. An avid conert performer, Cantin recently debuted the iconic Immolation Scene of Wagner's Götterdämmerung with both the Vancouver Symphony and the National Symphony of Costa Rica. Concert engagements extend to Australia where she performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Melbourne Symphony alongside Bryn Terfel, under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis.
