Soprano Soula Parassidis: Living Opera, Resilience, and Connection

  • Summary

  • Greek-Canadian soprano Soula Parassidis joins us on The Opera Glasses podcast to talk about her organization, Living Opera, her Canadian debut in Montreal, and the international opera scene.

    Soula, the driving force behind Living Opera, talks about how it all began—spoiler alert: the catalyst was her husband and Living Opera partner, Norman Reinhardt's journey overcoming performance anxiety. Living Opera offered a forum to share and invite performers to connect, feel heard, and learn from these experiences. The organization has grown into so much more since.

    Soula's upcoming Canadian debut in Montreal on April 16 is a heartfelt convergence of her artistic journey and a testament to her resilience—overcoming cancer (years ago) and giving back through this performance—a fundraising event to raise funds for endometrial cancer. This episode paints a portrait of an artist not defined by her struggles, but empowered by them, using her voice to uplift others and channel art's healing power.

    Join us for an episode that offers a glimpse behind the curtain and into the heart of an opera singer who believes in the transformative and accessible beauty of this timeless art form.

    All episodes of The Opera Glasses podcast are hosted by Opera Canada Editor-In-Chief, Elizabeth Bowman. Follow Opera Canada on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Visit OperaCanada.ca for all of your Canadian Opera news and reviews.
