Chloé Hurst (soprano) is an active singer, pianist and teacher in Vancouver.  Hailed by Opera Canada as having “enviable clarity and precision,” and having “a bright soprano, wide range and even pitch,” her talent has taken her around the world.  Chloé started her formal training in music at the age of three as a pianist and it was not until university when she started to pursue her passion for singing.  She completed both an undergrad and master’s degree in opera performance at The University of British Columbia.  Chloé has had the privilege of performing across North America, Europe and China in operas, concerts and competitions, including being a finalist on the popular Chinese television program, Xing Guang Da Dao.  Past operatic roles include Adina (L’elisir D’amore), Micaëla (Carmen), Mimì (La Bohème) and many more. Shortly before the pandemic, she gave two solo recitals in Italy and won first prize in the Canadian Division of the 28th World Music Competition. As a versatile performer, Chloé has also sung various works with orchestra such as Handel’s Messiah, Berlioz’s Les Nuit D’été and Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony.  Alongside performing, Chloé is on faculty at the Vancouver Academy of Music teaching theory, piano and voice and is the head of the early music education department.
