Raised in Grande Prairie and a proud Albertan, Holly is excited to be returning to her roots to join Edmonton Opera as Head of Artistic Operations.
Holly brings strong experience in arts administration coupled with a deep knowledge of the opera industry.

Holly has an undergraduate degree in Piano Performance (University of Alberta) and a master's degree in collaborative piano (University of Toronto). She is a graduate of the Yulanda M. Faris Program (Vancouver Opera), the Atelier Lyrique (Opera de Montreal) and the Opera in the 21st Century program (Banff Centre) - where she is currently a resident faculty member.
In addition to artistic administration, Holly is an accomplished opera coach and repetiteur. She has worked on the music staffs of several opera companies across Canada including Vancouver Opera, Opera de Montreal, Against the Grain Theatre, Opera Kelowna, and our very own Edmonton Opera!
We are thrilled to welcome Holly to the team!
