MacIntosh, Anne-Marie

(Langley, British Columbia, Canada)

Canadian soprano Anne-Marie MacIntosh, hailed by The Globe and Mail as one of “The Voices of a Generation,” is in her third year as a San Francisco Opera Adler Fellow. In 2021, she made her San Francisco Opera debut as Marzelline in a new production of Beethoven’s Fidelio, under the baton of Music Director Eun Sun Kim. She started 2022 by making another role and company debut as Micaëla in Bizet’s Carmen with Opera San José. She returned to San Francisco Opera this fall as Sister Valentine in Dialogues of the Carmelites and made her San Francisco Symphony debut in their Opening Night Gala performance.

MacIntosh was a participant in the 2019 Merola Opera Program, where she performed the role of Diana in the world premiere of Jake Heggie’s If I Were You. As the “anchor of the opera,” she was praised for her “seamless technique, attractive lyric timbre, phrases of spine-chilling power and beauty” and her “easy stage deportment” (Opera Today). Her love of new works was displayed earlier that year in performances as Coloratura in Claude Vivier’s Kopernikus with Against the Grain Theatre, which earned her and her colleagues a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Performance of an Ensemble, Opera.
