About Gabrielle

Praised for a “generous, round, and luminous voice” and a stage presence that is “visceral,”, American-Canadian soprano Gabrielle Turgeon is currently a member of the esteemed Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist Program at Los Angeles Opera.

Her appearances with the company have included Kate Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, Voice of the Fountain in Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar, and the Countess Ceprano and Page in Verdi's Rigoletto. During her tenure with the company, she has also prepared and covered leading roles while working alongside many of the industry's most distinguished conductors, directors, and vocal artists.

She was awarded the Grand First Prize at the 2025 edition of Le Concours OSM (The Montreal Symphony Orchestra Competition), and was a National Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2026, where she received the Anne de Richemont Smithers Award. Additional honours include being a finalist and encouragement award recipient at the 2025 Butler International Opera Competition, as well as being a finalist and the recipient of the Ana María Martínez Encouragement Award at Houston Grand Opera's 2023 Eleanor McCollum Competition.

Upcoming projects include Frasquita in Carmen with LA Opera, her Edinburgh Festival debut as Noy in the highly anticipated world premiere of Missy Mazzoli's The Galloping Cure, her house debut with Pacific Opera Victoria and further performances at LA Opera.

Gabrielle is based in Los Angeles, USA

  • The Galloping Cure

    Edinburgh International Festival
    Aug 2026

    • Even the doctor and her stroppy teenage daughter (persuasively sung by Gabrielle Turgeon) are hooked on the carousel.

    • Nonetheless, the cast give it their very best shot. Alongside Austin, the central role of the local GP, Theresa Hart, is sympathetically portrayed by Daniela Mack, although the story really revolves around her daughter Noy – terrifically sung by soprano Gabrielle Turgeon.

    • Daniela Mack’s fist-in-a-velvet-glove mezzo-soprano is ideal for the conflicted Hart, with Gabrielle Turgeon’s steely soprano lending sass to her daughter, Noy.

    • Her daughter Noy, played by American/Canadian soprano Gabrielle Turgeon (an enraptured first hearing for me), is a disaffected teenage mother who abandons her baby to Theresa’s care.

    • Daniela Mack sings the lead role, the town’s doctor, with soulful intensity, while Garbrielle Turgeon’s bright soprano provides brittle contrast as her daughter.

    • All the central performances are strong, with Turgeon’s vivid soprano conveying the teenage dissatisfactions of Noy, and Bullock maximising the potential of every note, word and gesture as the tragic Ivona. The company fields a fine ensemble, including Catriona Hewitson and Edward Jowle as the family dogs, which, together with a herd of sheep, add some levity to a gruelling narrative.

  • Le Concours OSM Finals

    La Maison Symphonique
    Nov 2025

    • What came across from the very first phrase was the sheer quality of the instrument. This is a full lyric voice that already has the sheen of a seasoned professional, with a natural chiaroscuro and an ease in the upper register that allows the sound to bloom without strain. The timbre is generous, round and luminous, and it filled Maison symphonique without apparent effort. There is also something visceral in her stage presence. Turgeon commits physically and emotionally, but the vocal line always remains controlled.

  • Carmen

    Brott Opera

    • Gabrielle Turgeon was a vocally strong Micaëla, and “Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante” was particularly suited to her commanding style and was one of the highlights of the evening.
