Lara Secord-Haid is a versatile singing artist with a rich artistic practice. Her work as an opera and classical singing artist has been praised for its “impassioned strength”(Classical Scene) and for being “capable of the highest flights of coloratura and possessing a rich and expressive overall quality” (Attencion San Miguel). Lara explores a wide range of classically informed music, from the antique to contemporary. Beyond the traditional and avante-garde, she has immersed herself in the captivating world of Sephardic music. This love resonates through her commissioned and performed new works within this evocative genre.


This season, Lara performs Titania in Purcell's Fairy Queen with Dorf Macht Opera. She will sing a concert of beloved Puccini and Verdi arias with the Alaia String Quartet in Leipzig's Salles de Pologne. She will perform Erwachen, an evocative work about climate change and human bewilderment at the force of our own nature and denial by Alexander Liebermann, with musicians from Orchester des Wandels in the Braunschweiger Dom. She also takes the stage as Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos by Richard Strauss and later as Blanche de la Force in Les Dialogue des Carmelites by Francis Poulenc with MusikfürMusik Künstler collaborative in Berlin. She will revive her recital program, All Mute Things Speak, which she curated through an intensive search for music and poetry in Hebrew and Ladino and through commissions of new and adapted works made possible by the Canada Council for the Arts with pianist Daniel Seroussi also in Berlin. Lara will premiere her Sephardic song project, performing two new song cycles entitled Shir Hashirim and Canciones Sefarad by composer Sid Robinovitch in a brand-new orchestration by Tad Biernacki with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra. She will also appear as Frasquita in Carmen with Manitoba Opera and perform a recital program featuring the works of Richard Strauss with pianist Michael Oike presented by The Little Opera Company in Winnipeg.
