Congratulations to School of Music alumnus Alex Halliday (BMus ’17) on being named one of CBC Music’s Top 30 Classical Musicians under 30 for 2025! This is the fifth year in a row that one of our alumni have made the list.
In the 2025-26 season, Alex will make his debut with no less than three Canadian opera companies: He will sing the role of Angelotti in Pacific Opera Victoria's Tosca in February; Colline in Vancouver Opera's La bohème in April; and Fafner in Edmonton Opera's Siegfried in June. Last November, he won third place in Edmonton Opera’s Rumbold Vocal Prize and will return to the Canadian Opera Company in September to sing the Duke in Roméo et Juliette.
Congratulations, Alex!
