<p>Under Michelle’s leadership as Artistic Director, Cowtown Opera has developed a reputation for high quality, entertaining, accessible and original productions. She was also instrumental in creating the Cowtown Opera Summer Academy at Mount Royal Conservatory, which has provided world-class training to aspiring opera singers since 2012.</p>
<p>Michelle received her opera training at the Royal Academy of Music in London England, Bachelor of Music and Masters in Vocal Pedagogy from the University of Toronto. Michelle is a recipient of the Mayors Enbridge Emerging Artists Award and was named top 40 Under 40 for Avenue Magazine. She was seen as a headliner for the 2013 Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show and has performed with the Canadian Opera Company, Calgary Opera, Cowtown Opera, the Anghiari Music Festival and numerous high-profile events in Calgary and across Canada.</p>

“The service of Cowtown Opera was nothing short of professional and fabulous. Our opera singer Courtney, provided a large part of the 'ambience' of the evening. I appreciated the reasonable pricing, the search for our singer, the ideas for songs and interaction with myself in selecting them, and of course the performance. I would highly recommend your company for any of its services.” </p>
