Evan Lindberg

Known for his versatility, sensitivity, and captivating storytelling, Evan Lindberg is equally at home in the realms of opera, art song, early music, and contemporary music. Evan completed his master’s degree at McGill University, and holds a Bachelor of Music from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

Recent credits include Basilio (Il barbiere di Siviglia) at Highlands Opera Studio, Oz (Indians on Vacation) at the Banff Centre, Leporello (Don Giovanni) and Zoroastro (Orlando) at Opera McGill, and Bottom (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and Don Alfonso (Cosí fan tutte) at the Oberlin Conservatory. Previous residencies include the Banff Centre, Highlands Opera Studio, Toronto Summer Music Festival, Opera on the Avalon, and the Franz Schubert-Institut.

When Evan is not performing, he enjoys curling up with a cup of tea and a good book, taking a stroll through Montreal’s botanical gardens, and going to see live theatre!

Our 2025 Emerging Artist Program

In 2025, Opera on the Avalon’s Emerging Artist Program will offer a rich blend of development, mentorship, and professional experience from October 2024 through June 2025. This hybrid program features monthly stipends and personalized coaching to help participants refine their skills. Additionally, participants will be given the opportunity to cover roles with our partner organizations, providing them with broader industry exposure. Participants will again collaborate with world renowned composers and librettists on new works, and then collaborating with filmmakers to create digital shorts, which will be filmed in Newfoundland. Additionally, mentorship from industry professionals and monthly seminars will provide tailored guidance to support each artist’s growth, culminating in a recital tour and project filming in May and June.
