BIOGRAPHY.
A New Orleans native and Grand Finals Winner of the 2021 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, mezzo-soprano Emily Treigle is regarded as an "endlessly watchable and a consummate musician." After being named a 2024 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 makes her first post-studio appearance with the company in Fall 2024 as Tisbe in La Cenerentola.

THIS IS EMILY.
Emily is a cat-mom, an astrology lover, a makeup enthusiast, and a shopaholic. When she isn’t binge-watching reality television, she can be found gawking at Taylor Swift fan theories on the internet, or screaming ‘All Too Well Ten Minute Version Taylor’s Version’ at the top of her lungs in her living room. She never goes outside unless she is forced, but has 3 tattoos that are nature inspired. She is an ethical pescatarian, only eating fish because she doesn’t think that they’re cute. If you want to win her over, invite her to a sushi restaurant with an unlimited budget.
