Praised for her “enchanting and expressive singing” (Henley Standard) and her “buoyant charm as an actor,” (Georgia Strait), Vancouver-born, classically-trained soprano Bridget Esler is currently a young artist at the Opéra de Montréal’s Atelier lyrique. Recently returned to Canada from London, England, where she completed her graduate studies in voice, Bridget has performed across Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States with ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra.
Bridget’s passion for music began at age eight when she started taking singing lessons. By age twelve, she was performing profesionally in theatre. Now, with nearly two decade’s worth of experience singing in a diverse range of genres, including musical theatre, jazz, pop, and, classical, she is passionate about sharing her expertise and enthusiasm for music with learners of all ages and skill levels.
This season, she makes her Opéra de Montréal mainstage debut as Berta in Il Barbiere di Siviglia. Other highlights of her season include role debuts as Nightingale/Shepherdess in L’Enfant et les sortilèges (Opéra de Montréal) and Monica in The Medium (Orchestre classique de Montréal), Joyce DiDonato’s renowned series of masterclasses held at Carnegie Hall, and the Gerda Lissner Competition’s Winners’ Recital, also held at Carnegie Hall.
Bridget’s previous operatic roles include the Parrot in Anna Pidgorna’s Plaything (Musique 3 Femmes/Opera America), Artemisia in Ivan Barbotin’s The Rape of Artemisia, and Mary in Street Scene (Opera McGill).
A keen chamber musician and recitalist, Bridget was an artist-in-residence at the Marlboro Music Festival in 2024, a Vocal Fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center in 2023, and a Samling Artist at the Samling Institute in 2022. She enjoys a busy schedule as a concert soloist, with recent engagements including Carmina Burana (Amchor), semi-chorus in Elijah (London Symphony Orchestra), Mozart’s Mass in C Minor (Islington Choral Society), and Messiah (Kimbolton School). Experienced on the competition circuit, Bridget was awarded Third Prize at the 2024 Gerda Lissner Foundation Song Competition and named Most Outstanding Canadian Musician at the 2024 Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition.
Bridget has a special interest in contemporary music; she has sung six world premières and champions the works of twentieth- and twenty-first-century composers in her repertoire. Recent new music performance highlights include Lukas Foss’ Time Cycle at the Gewandhaus, Leipzig, Unsuk Chin’s Cantatrix Sopranica with the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, and an appearance at the Opera America New Works Forum in New York City.

Alexander Memorial Scholarship. She is a graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Schulich School of Music at McGill University.
Level up your skills as a singing actor. Great singing is about more than just hitting the right notes — it’s about storytelling, emotion, and stage presence. Whether you’re preparing for an opera or musical theatre role, an audition, or you simply want to make a deeper connection with your audience, dramatic coaching will help you to immerse yourself fully in the music and captivate your listeners. You will learn to about character preparation, interpretation of text and subtext, acting and stage techniques for singers, expressive movement and body language, stage presence, and confidence-building techniques.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your voice or you’ve been performing for years, our singing lessons are built to meet you where you’re at. Beginners learn solid, healthy technique from day one—no prior experience needed. Artists and advanced singers come to refine their sound, fix nagging issues, or get tour-ready with stamina-focused training. Every session is customized to your voice and goals, with flexible scheduling that allows for both regular coaching and drop-in tune-ups when needed.
Preparing for an audition? We’ve got you covered. These sessions focus on performance confidence, vocal polish, and authentic delivery—so you can walk in with a clear plan and stand out. Whether you’re auditioning for a musical, a band, or a conservatory program, we’ll help you choose the right material, shape your interpretation, and fine-tune your technique under pressure. Many students book a few targeted sessions in the weeks leading up to their audition to feel focused, prepped, and ready to go.

Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.

Throughly enjoyed my lessons with Express and Ian! Would definitely recommend. I looked for a long time for a singing teacher that I could have fun with, connect with, and grow my voice. Ian was definitely that teacher for me. The concerts were great too to be a part of. Thank you guys!
