Kcenia Koutorjevski is a mezzo-soprano from British Columbia praised for her “rich vocal tones” (The Beach Metro). She has performed roles such as Dorabella (Così Fan Tutte, UofT Opera 2025), Julius Caesar (Julius Caesar, SOLT 2023), Ruggiero (Alcina, UWO 2021), and Mme. de la Haltière (Cendrillon, UofT Opera 2024). Kcenia holds an ARCT in piano performance and recently completed her Master’s in Opera at the University of Toronto under Elizabeth McDonald. She is a recipient of awards including the London Opera Guild Scholarship, the Adrianne Pieczonka Award for Vocal Excellence, the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and will be a finalist in the 2025 National Capital Opera Competition. Her time as a Production Assistant at the Banff Centre in 2024 deepened a passion for new opera works, which she continues to explore today. According to her mother, she “sang before she could speak” and bore a "portable siren," as a child, which came in handy whenever she'd get lost. Beyond the stage, she teaches voice and piano in Toronto and is committed to making opera and classical music more accessible, connective, and relevant in today’s world.
