Hailed as “incandescent” (Boston Globe) and “for the ages” (Schmopera), Greek-Canadian soprano Soula Parassidis is celebrated for her electrifying performances and commanding stage presence on the world’s leading stages. In 2024, she debuted at the Festival Aix-en-Provence in a Gluck double-bill of Iphigénie en Aulide/Tauride, conducted by Emmanuelle Haïm and directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov—a production she reprised in her Greek National Opera debut in fall 2024 under Michael Hofstetter. That same year, she released her debut album, All is Bright, recorded with the Benevento Filarmonica, and launched her podcast Behind the Curtain.
Her 2023 highlights included starring in Iphigénie en Tauride for the Maria Callas Centennial Celebration at the Olympia City Music Theatre “Maria Callas” in Athens, Greece, under George Petrou and directed by Thanos Papakonstantinou. This success led to acclaimed performances of Iphigénie in Bern, Switzerland, and a globally streamed Boston Baroque production conducted by Martin Pearlman and directed by Mo Zhou.
Additional career highlights include her Asian debut in La Clemenza di Tito with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra, Handel’s Teseo (Theater an der Wien), Don Giovanni (Guangzhou Opera), the title roles in Barber’s Vanessa and Gräfin in Capriccio (Opéra-Théâtre de Metz Métropole), Elettra in Idomeneo (Teatro Massimo Palermo), Helmwige in Die Walküre(Opéra National de Bordeaux), and Korngold’s Violanta (Teatro Regio Torino). Soula also spent three seasons as an ensemble member of Oper Leipzig, where she performed a wide variety of leading repertoire. Soula’s concert performances include appearances with the Czech Philharmonic, Gewandhaus Leipzig, Berlin Philharmonie, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and Orchestre National de Capitole de Toulouse, in works such as Dutilleux’s Correspondances, Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder, and Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras.
A multifaceted artist, Soula is the founder of Living Opera, a multimedia company dedicated to expanding opera’s reach. Recognized as a thought leader, she has collaborated with Medici TV, IDAGIO, Les Arts Valencia, and Stagetime Arts, earning mentions in Forbes, Newsweek, Fast Company, and Yahoo Finance.
