Sarah Caulfield is an emerging Canadian soprano who finds joy in adding her voice to an array of repertoire. In the 2026-27 season, she’s delighted to be joining the Ensemble Studio of the Canadian Opera Company, where she will make her mainstage debut as Echo in Ariadne auf Naxos.

In November 2025, Sarah presented a solo program of Italian arias with the Vancouver Island Symphony under the baton of Maestra Cosette Justo Valdés. She returned as a guest in February 2026 to perform zarzuela and jazz repertoire in the Symphony’s Cuban Vibes festival. Other recent highlights include winning in the Washington District of the 2026 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, joining Good Mess Opera Theatre as Suzy in La Rondine, and a return to the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance for their Bel Canto Bootcamp residency.
