Stephanie DeCiantis is a ‘…top Canadian voice’ (Opera Canada) gaining attention for her "powerful" sound (Jake Evans, the Intelligencer) and "lush musical ebb and flow"(Opera Canada). Recent performances include virtual concerts with the Southern Ontario Lyric Opera, Opera Sustenida, and as Donna Elvira in Brott Opera's Digital production of Don Giovanni. Stephanie also celebrated her return to live theatre with the Kindred Spirits Orchestra in Toronto, joining them as the soprano soloist in Shostakovich’s exciting Symphony No 14 and at Opera By Request’s Reunion Gala in November 2021.

This year, Stephanie was a semi-finalist for the Vincerò World Singing Competition. Stephanie was a winner and laureate of the Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques with Thèâtre Lyrichorégra 20 and a semi-finalist for both the Elizabeth Connell prize for Dramatic Sopranos and the Francisco Araiza Sonora International Opera Competition. Also, she won the special Prize of Gabriela Beňačková’ from Opera Mladỳch at the11th International Vocal Competition of Gabriela Beňačková. She also sang for Sondra Radvanovsky in masterclass, through the IRCPA Joan Hall Scholarship.

Performance highlights include Nedda from Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci (Southern Ontario Lyric Opera), Senta from Wagner’s Der Fliegende Höllander and Leonora from Verdi’s Il Trovatore (Opera by Request), and Donna Elvira from Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Brott Opera).

Stephanie DeCiantis completed her Master’s degree at the University of Western Ontario; studying for a degree in Performance and Literature with mezzo-soprano Sophie Roland.  

“DeCiantis showcased her clear and precise tonality… exhibiting a beautifully-contrasted darker timbre for her more dramatic scenes.  …DeCiantis sang with the lush musical ebb and flow that Leoncavallo’s score demands.”

-        Opera Canada

“DeCiantis’ exquisite rendition of ‘O mio babbino caro’… made for [a] sweet lull in the action’

-        Opera Canada

“..the performance of Senta… was astounding. Stephanie DeCiantis’ powerful voice almost lifted the roof off the sanctuary..."

 - Jake Evans, The Intelligencer
