A New Orleans native and Grand Finals Winner of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, mezzo-soprano Emily Treigle is regarded as "endlessly watchable and a consummate musician." In Spring 2025, Treigle will make her international debut with the Canadian Opera Company as Filipyevna in Eugene Onegin and Lucia in Cavalleria Rusticana. This Summer, she will be attending the Académie at Festival d’Aix en Provence in France. In the 2025-2026 season, Treigle will be making many company and role debuts, including: La Ciesca in Gianni Schicchi and The Monitress in Suor Angelica at Houston Grand Opera, Second Lady in The Magic Flute at The Metropolitan Opera, Mére Marie in Dialogues des Carmélites at New Orleans Opera, and reprising the role of Despina in Così fan tutte at Madison Opera. In 2024, after being named a winner of the George and Nora London Foundation Competition, she returned to Wolf Trap Opera for the 2024 season, performing Despina in Così fan tutte, where she was praised for her “uncanny sense of comedic timing” and “magnificent voice.” In the previous season with Wolf Trap Opera, she displayed her “acting range [as] impressive as her vocal one” as Juno/Ino in Semele. An alumna of the Houston Grand Opera Butler Studio, Treigle performed numerous roles with the company including: Meg Page in Falstaff, Suzuki in Madama Butterfly, Flora in La traviata, Miss Violet in the world premiere of Another City, Mère Jeanne in Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Gertrude in Romeo and Juliet. She also covered the roles of Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro, and Herodias in Salome. She made her first post-studio appearance with the company in Fall 2024 as Tisbe in La Cenerentola.  An undeniable legacy, her grandfather was world-renowned bass-baritone Norman Treigle.
