For Toronto-born Adanya Dunn, variety is key. The Canadian-Bulgarian mezzo-soprano is a rising figure on the world’s stages, from the Santa Fe Opera and Dutch National Opera, to her upcoming debuts in Bulgaria and South Korea. Like any enthusiastic mezzo-soprano, Adanya Dunn’s instrument takes her from funny femininity to trouser-role energy. She’s a deft interpret of new music, with over 200 premieres in her repertoire.
Adanya Dunn is the founder of the not-for-profit Red Light Arts & Culture in Amsterdam, connecting the art scene and boosting the distinct culture of the Red Light District.
She is also a classical and electronic music composer, poet, watercolour painter and yoga teacher.
Adanya Dunn has withdrawn from the CMIM after successfully qualifying due to health reasons.
