Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, JUNO and Dora Award-winning mezzo-soprano Andrea Ludwig is an artist of tremendous depth, musicality, and scope. Andrea has appeared with the Canadian Opera Company in numerous roles including Nireno in Handel’s Julius Ceasar, the Second Niece in Britten’s Peter Grimes, Flora in The Turn of the Screw, Moira in Paul Ruder’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and Liesgen in Bach’s Coffee Cantata. 

Very much in demand for contemporary opera, Andrea has been involved in many of Tapestry New Opera’s projects including Juliet Palmer’s Shelter; James Rolfe’s The Overcoat, and Brian Current’s Gould’s Wall. Andrea was also in the multi-Dora-nominated Queen of Puddings’ production of Ana Sokolovic’s Svadba in Toronto, Edmonton Opera, Philadelphia Opera, San Francisco Opera, and Festival D’Aix en Provence. 

Ms. Ludwig’s commitment to concert performance remains a strong focus. She has sung with Symphony Nova Scotia, Symphony New Brunswick, Shanghai New Music Festival, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville, Against the Grain Theatre, Toronto Masque Theatre, Soundstreams, Off Centre Music Salon, the TSO Chamber Soloists, and Echo Chamber Toronto. 

Recordings include the ECMA-nominated Schubert Orchestrations with Symphony Nova Scotia, Responsio by Peter Anthony Togni, Galicians II with The Ukrainian Art Song Project,  ATMA label recording of Ana Sokolovic’s Sirens, and the UK Chandos recording of Thais: Grand Opera in Concert, with the TSO and TMC, under the direction of Sir Andrew Davis.
