Jane Archibald’s career trajectory has taken her from Canada to San Francisco to the Vienna State Opera and major opera houses on both continents.

She also performed Carmina Burana with the Orquesta Nacional d’Espana in Madrid and Armida in Rinaldo, on tour with the English Concert.

The 2018/19 season will find Jane performing le Feu/ la Princesse/ le Rossignol in L'enfant et les sortilèges at the BBC Proms and Lucerne Festival under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle, her role debut as Mathilde in Theater an der Wien’s production of William Tell, as Cunégonde in Candide with both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and as the title role in Oper Frankfurt’s Daphne. She will also give numerous concert performances including in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with Orchestre National de Lyon; Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor with Symphony Nova Scotia, and Britten’s Les Illuminations and Grieg’s Peer Gynt with the Oregon Symphony.
