    SHARON AZRIELI PEREZ Soprano [email protected] 514-295-0682 BACKGROUND BIOGRAPHY Sharon Azrieli Perez’s rich spinto soprano has been heard to great acclaim across the globe, from New York to Tokyo, and from Tel Aviv to her native Montreal. From her debut as Juliette in Roméo et Juliette to recent portrayals of Verdi heroines Aida and Leonora, (Il Trovatore) Azrieli Perez has been deemed “utterly charming” (Sarasota Herald Tribune) and praised for her “exceedingly beautiful voice, full of feeling” (Ha’aretz). In recent years, aside from her growing repertoire of great French heroines; Sharon has, under the tutelage of Bill Schuman in New York, been hailed as the next true Verdiana. She received glowing reviews for her Verdi Requiem, and for her Aida: “Sharon Azrieli Perez sang the title role with an amazing voice that expressed the very essence of love, anguish and self-sacrifice” (Ontario Arts Review). Leading operatic roles have included Juliette in Roméo et Juliette and Mimi in La Bohème for the Canadian Opera Company; Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro with Sarasota Opera; Nedda in I Pagliacci with the New York Opera Festival; Elvira in Don Giovanni with Vermont Opera Festival; and Liu in Turandot with the New Israel Opera. Of her Laurette in Le Docteur Miracle with L’Opéra Français de New York, Andrew Porter of The New Yorker hailed her as a “mistress of merry inflections, piquant phrasing and pointed words.” In 1994, she had the great honour of covering Mirella Freni as Adrienne Lecouvreur with L’Opéra Bastille in Paris. Sharon has been heard extensively around the world, performing with many symphony orchestras including the Jerusalem Symphony, the Tokyo Symphony, the McGill Chamber Orchestra, the Haifa Symphony Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Canada.
