About Tamar
Heralded for her “clear vibrant tone” (*Opera Canada*), Tamar Simon is an Armenian-Canadian soprano based in Montréal, Québec. Tamar has over ten years of experience teaching voice in a variety of styles from classical to pop. When she is not teaching, she has been featured in many leading roles including Adina (*L’elisir d’amore*), Musetta (*La bohème*), Susanna (*Le nozze di Figaro*), and Donna Elvira (*Don Giovanni*), which she performed in Highlands Opera Studio’s 2021 production.
Tamar has sung as a soloist with Vancouver Opera, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, Toronto City Opera, and Burnaby Lyric Opera. She has also been seen on international stages, including appearances as Zerlina (*Don Giovanni*) in Kona, Hawaii, and as Calisto (*La Calisto*) in Sulmona, Italy. This year she sang the role of Clorinda (*La Cenerentola*) with the Lunenburg Academy of Music and reprised the same role later that summer with the Brott Opera Music Festival.
Tamar is a District Winner and an Encouragement Award Winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and is a graduate of the University of British Columbia’s Master of Music program. She continued her vocal and art song studies in Austria after receiving the Johann Strauss Foundation Scholarship, which sponsored study at the Internationale Sommerakademie Mozarteum.
