Zoë Vallée is a Canadian Coloratura Soprano. She recently completed her Masters of Music in Vocal Performance at the RNCM where she studied with Sandra Dugdale. She is the recipient of a scholarship made possible by the Jacob Marsland Award, and the Kenneth Hedley Bequest. Zoë is a proud Newfoundlander who completed her Bachelor’s degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland under the tutelage of Dr. Jane Leibel.
Zoë was led to music through a love of dance that was instilled in her at a young age. Zoë is an experienced dance and singing educator with almost a decade of teaching behind her (Classical voice, Musical theatre, Ballet, Contemporary, Lyrical, Street Dance, Irish Step). It was through dance that she began her career in musical theatre, starting in chorus/movement roles in shows such as Rock of Ages, and then succeeding in leading roles such as Joan in Fun Home. During her undergraduate degree Zoë was given the opportunity to study classical voice and opera, and found that this is where she really flourished. Her recent credits include Gretel in Humperdink’s Hansel und Gretel with MUN Opera Workshop, Chocholka/Mrs. Pásek in Janacek’s the Cunning Little Vixen, the Controller in Jonathan Dove’s Flight, and Zerbinetta in the prologue of Ariadne auf Naxos with RNCM’s Opera Program. Among other opportunities available at the RNCM, Zoë was selected as a finalist for the 2021 competition for the Joyce and Michael Kennedy Award for the singing of Strauss. Currently Zoë can be found performing in the West End Cast of the Phantom of the Opera, in which she is playing the role of the Confidante and covering the principal Carlotta.
