Dean Artists Management Welcomes Mezz-Soprano Emma Parkinson to the Roster for General Management

Dean Artists Management is delighted to welcome mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson to our roster.

Chinese-Canadian mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson is a dynamic, modern artist, praised for “an outstanding voice… hall-filling, supple, rich, dark-tinged, with a golden sheen” (La Scena Musicale).

Her 25/26 season begins with a return to the mainstage of Vancouver Opera as Maddalena in Rigoletto. Subsequently, she joins the Vancouver Bach Choir as the alto soloist for Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, the Victoria Symphony for Mozart’s Requiem with the Choir of King’s College Cambridge, and Belle Spirale Dance Projects for a world premiere by Wen Wei Wang.

Last season, Emma made her Pacific Opera Victoria mainstage debut as The Fox in Portman’s The Little Prince, made debuts with symphonies of Victoria, Kamloops, and Regina for Handel’s Messiah, and joined the Victoria Philharmonic Choir for their presentation of Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Emma also appeared with the PRISMA Festival Orchestra for performances of Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été and Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder.

Emma has additionally been engaged by Early Music Vancouver, Opéra de Massy, City Opera Vancouver, Opéra de Montréal, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, and Les Chorégies d’Orange, for repertoire including Bizet’s Carmen, Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, Bach’s St. Join Passion, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, and the world premiere of Ho’s Chinatown.

Emma is represented by Managing Director Morgan Reid for worldwide general management.
