Belarusian-born Canadian baritone Jamal Al Titi is a young artist on the rise whose warm, resonant timbre and charismatic stage presence have already brought him to leading roles on both Canadian and international stages.

This upcoming season, Jamal makes his company debuts with Edmonton Opera as Papageno (role debut) in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and Orchestre symphonique de Montréal as Masetto in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, under the baton of Rafael Payare. He subsequently returns to Opéra de Montréal for the world premiere of ATYS in co-production with Ballet Opéra Pantomime.

A graduating member of Opéra de Montréal’s prestigious Atelier lyrique, he has appeared in performances of Pergolesi's La serva padrona as Uberto, Ravel's L’Enfant et les sortilèges as L’arbre and Le fauteuil, and in the title role of the world premiere of Jobidon's Le Phare, alongside performances of the works of Britten, Handel, and more. In the 25/26 season, he performed as Dancaïre in Bizet’s Carmen, where he impressed with a “magnificent timbre” (Olyrix), and “(stood out) for his energy and impressive vocal projection” (Ludwig Van Montréal). Jamal joined the Atelier after winning the Stingray Audience Choice Award at their 2024 Gala Talent.

Concert highlights include Handel's Messiah with Orchestre Classique de Montréal, Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and the Grand Philharmonic Choir, and additional concerts as a soloist with both Toronto’s Elmer Iseler Singers, and Montréal’s ARAMusique. He has also appeared in recital with the Caramoor Schwab Vocal Rising Stars program and the New York Festival of Songs, collaborating with Steven Blier and Bénédicte Jourdois. Lauded for his song interpretation, Jamal was the 2022 winner of the Norcop Prize in Song at the University of Toronto.

In 2025, Jamal spent his summer at the International Meistersinger Academy in Germany, under the guidance of Edith Wiens, and working with Craig Terry, Tobias Truniger, Thomas Laussmann, Marcelo Maral, and Brigitte Fassbaender. He appeared in recital, for programs of lieder and cabaret songs curated by Terry, and a gala performance of operatic favourites with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra.

Additional operatic repertoire includes Belcore in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore (Highlands Opera Studio), the titular roles of Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi (Netherlands Lyric Opera Festival) and Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, National Arts Centre Orchestra), both Schaunard and Marcello in Puccini’s La Bohème (Opéra de Montréal), Cascada in Lehar’s The Merry Widow (Brott Opera Festival), and Tom in Kouyoumdjian’s Adoration (Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity).

​He is a two-time district winner of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, first-prize winner of the Rochester International Vocal Competition, the Athena Music Foundation Prize Winner at the Premiere Opera Foundation International Vocal Competition, winner of the 32nd National Lyric Audition Young Lyric Ambassadors Program and the 2025 Opera San Miguel Prize, and was chosen as the Young Audience Award winner in the 2025 Voice edition of the OSM Competition. He has additionally been recognized by Edmonton Opera’s Rumbold Vocal Prize (2023), the Toronto Mozart Vocal Competition (2023), the National Capital Opera Competition (2025), and the Toronto City Opera Macina Competition (2026).
