JEREMY SCINOCCA

ABOUT

Jeremy Scinocca is an award-winning tenor based in Toronto. He has performed across Canada with companies including Vancouver Opera, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Opéra de Montréal, Goodness Theatre, the Yukon Arts Centre, Festival d’Opéra de Québec, Toronto City Opera, Voicebox: Opera in Concert, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, and Brott Opera. His repertoire ranges from Mozart to Puccini, with notable performances including Nemorino (L’elisir d’amore), Tonio (La fille du régiment), Ruggero and Prunier (La Rondine), Rodolfo (La Bohème), Le Remendado (Carmen), and Spoletta (Tosca).
 

Jeremy is an alumnus of Vancouver Opera’s Yulanda M. Farris Young Artist Program, Manitoba Opera’s Digital Emerging Artist Program, and Edmonton Opera’s Emerging Artist Program. He has also trained at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Canadian Vocal Arts Institute, and the Sewanee Summer Music Festival. He holds both a Master of Music in Voice and Opera and a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from McGill University.
 

During his time with Manitoba Opera, Jeremy created The Petrarch Project, a digital interdisciplinary work that reimagines Liszt’s Petrarch Sonnets through contemporary dance and film, exploring the relationship between music, movement, and text. His work reflects a growing interest in collaboration across disciplines and in expanding the traditional operatic format.
 

In recent seasons, Jeremy has appeared with Voicebox: Opera in Concert, Brott Opera, and Goodness Theatre, including performances at the Edmonton Fringe Festival. He was featured with the National Arts Centre Orchestra as Spoletta in Tosca, stepping into rehearsals with less than 24 hours’ notice. In 2025, he performed in Opéra de Montréal’s Talent Gala, where he was awarded the Jury Prize for his performance. Jeremy has worked with conductors and directors including Alexander Shelley, Jacques Lacombe, Joel Ivany, and Judith Yan. 
 

Upcoming engagements include his debut as Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Elvino in La sonnambula with VoiceBox: Opera In Concert and Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi with Opera 5.

"Even the smaller roles stood out, including tenor Jeremy Scinocca’s Spoletta, who shines briefly but brightly in Act 1’s 'Tre sbirre, una carrozza' and later in the climactic 'Presto, su! Mario!'” - Michael Zarathus-Cook

Don Giovanni
Don Ottavio

Jeremy Scinocca was an empathetic Don Ottavio whose inner strength was evident in “Il mio tesoro.” Scinocca’s lyrical voice was in complete command of the long, demanding coloratura passages and delicate phrasings. The audience’s prolonged applause indicated they knew they had just heard four minutes of Mozartean mastery. - Dawn Martens

L'elisir d'amore
Nemorino

Jeremy Scinocca played the hapless peasant, Nemorino, who is so desperate to be acknowledged by his love that he buys the “potion,” which is really only wine. This was Scinocca’s debut as Nemorino, and I believe, as his voice matures, that it is a harbinger of more to come. Scinocca’s lyric tenor voice had a good foundation in the middle register, but also had the intensity needed for high notes. Nowhere was this more evident than in his “Una furtiva lagrima.” This aria is so familiar that it can slip into being a redundant “best of” piece. Not so with Scinocca’s interpretation which contained lovely pianissimos and fortissimos and an ebb and flow of tempo. It was a showstopper, and the rapt silence of the audience was a tribute to Scinocca’s sensitive interpretation. - Dawn Martens
