Toronto based mezzo-soprano Chelsea Pringle-Duchemin is currently completing an Artist Diploma in Performance at the Glenn Gould School at The Royal Conservatory of Music, where she studies with soprano Stephanie Bogle. In the 2021-22 season, Chelsea sang the roles of Zora in Ana Sokolovics’ Svadba and Eustazia in Rinaldo at the GGS, and is honoured to be attending the Opera in the 21st Century Residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in May. Past operatic highlights have included Lucretia in The Rape of Lucretia (2021), and Anna I in Die Sieben Todsünden (2020) with the Glenn Gould School Opera Program; Le nozze di Figaro (2019), Orphée aux enfers (2016), and Paul Bunyan (2016) with the University of Toronto Opera Division; Apollo in Apollo & Hyacinthus (2019) with COSI Connection; and Cornelia in Julius Caesar (2016), and Nancy in Martha (2015) with Summer Opera Lyric Theatre Toronto.
In addition to opera, Chelsea is a passionate concert and new music singer. This season, she is the mezzo-soprano soloist in the Canadian premiere of Paul Frehners’ Sometimes the Devil Plays Fate with the Glenn Gould School New Music Ensemble. She was an inaugural member of Cor Unum Ensemble (Stabat Mater, 2018; Johannes-passion, 2017), and has been a resident artist in the Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute (2016).
​
Chelsea is particularly interested in art song, and the ways in which feminist musicology can intersect with the performance of both standard repertoire and new music. Chelsea holds a Bachelors of Music from the University of Toronto undergraduate voice program, where she studied with mezzo-soprano Laura Tucker. She is originally from Montreal, Quebec.
