We are pleased to announce that legendary musician and humanitarian Elton John, Laureate of the 15th Glenn Gould Prize, has selected acclaimed Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo @thee.dangelo as the recipient of the prestigious Glenn Gould Protégé Prize.
This prize celebrates the vital role of inspiration and encouragement between generations, fostering young artists whose work shows the promise of a lifetime of impact through the arts.
Emily D’Angelo’s meteoric rise has firmly established her as one of the most exciting and critically acclaimed artists of her generation. Since her professional debut at 21 as Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro at the Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi, she has performed at the world’s top opera companies. Following her second album Freezing for Deutsche Grammophon (@dgclassics ), she was named the 2025 Opus Klassik “Female Singer of the Year.”
It’s easy to see why she was Elton John’s choice. Her powerful artistry and distinctive voice make her impossible to miss.
“What makes this recognition truly special for me is the opportunity to share it with a remarkable young artist like Emily D’Angelo. One of the great privileges of having spent a lifetime in music is witnessing and championing young artists. Emily is brilliant, and I couldn’t be happier to share this honour with her.” - Elton John
Congratulations to Emily D’Angelo, the newest recipient of the Glenn Gould Protégé Prize!

We are excited to release the recording of “Grounded”, Jeanine Tesori’s new opera, starring award-winning mezzo-soprano @thee.dangelo . The @metopera Music Director @nezetseguin conducts the opera, which opened the Met’s 24–25 season.
Out now on your preferred streaming platform.

This adaptation of @george.brant ’s acclaimed play is a production that wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. Emily D’Angelo, for whom Tesori wrote this role and who “doesn’t stop singing for virtually the entire 100-minute span of the piece” (New York Magazine), portrays Jess, an F-16 fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy forces her into a new assignment, operating a Reaper drone in Afghanistan from a trailer in Nevada. As she adjusts to this new way of doing battle, she struggles under the pressure to be the perfect soldier, the perfect wife, and the perfect mother all at the same time.
This morning, mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo @thee.dangelo and pianist Sophia Muñoz @munsophi performed a beautiful recital inspired by folk music, legends and lore ✨
Travelling to mountains with Béla Bartók to the desert with Jeanine Tesori and gardens with Rebecca Clarke and Alma Mahler, the programme was both picturesque and profoundly human.
