Her place was taken at short notice by Jenavieve Moore, a student at the School’s Opera Course. Though she is at the outset of her career Moore has some experience of concert work in her native Canada, and if she felt nervous at the prospect of performing in the Barbican Hall there was no sign of this in her confident, composed demeanour or in her rendition. She sang most beautifully, especially in ‘Libera me’, the concluding movement of the Requiem, and was certainly not outshone by her colleagues. 'Classical Source' - Alan Sanders (2014)
But the highlight of the concert for me was Wolf-Lieder featuring the impressive soprano Jenavieve Moore with the largest ensemble of the concert. It was our first encounter on this Total Immersion day of Brett Dean subtly using the music of another composer, in this case Hugo Wolf. Moore’s committed performance and clear German ably communicated both the tragic and comedic elements of the varied selection of texts, supported by animated playing from the Ensemble to provide a worthy climax to this concert. This is definitely a piece to listen out for! 'Hear and Now', by BBC3 - Rosalind Porte (2012)
The soprano Jenavieve Moore was outstanding in the chamber work Stabat mater, sustaining her long notes with remarkably sure intonation and control. 'The Arts Desk' Peter Quinn
Described as “an artist of extraordinary talent”, soprano Jenavieve Moore has a “silvery voice of great flexibility, precision, and beauty” and is internationally renowned for her Mozart and Strauss interpretations.
The Canadian began gaining attention in London, UK when she stepped in at the last minute to sing Verdi’s Requiem in the Barbican Centre, for the opening concert of the 2014/15 season.
Equally at home on the opera and concert stage, Jenavieve has performed across North America, Europe, and China, with operatic role and scene credits including Judith Wier’s one-woman opera King Harald’s Saga, Wolf-Ferrari’s Le Donne Curiose (Rosaura), Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia (Female Chours), Birtwistle’s Yan Tan Tethera (Hannah), Bizet’s Carmen (Micaëla), Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress (Ann Trulove), Massenet’s Manon (Manon), Mozart’s Don Giovanni (Donna Anna) Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro (Countessa), Mozart’s Der Schauspieldirektor (Md.Silberklang), Rossini’s Le comte Ory (Comtesse Adèle) and Thomas Adès’ Powder Her Face (Maid).
Recent Oratorio appearances include Bach’s Johannes Passion and Weihnachtsoratorium, Mozart’s Requiem, Mass in C Minor and Exsultate Jubilate, Haydn’s Paukenmesse and Lord Nelson Mass, Verdi’s Requiem, and Rossini’s Stabat Mater.
She is regularly featured on BBC Radio 3 in connection with their New Music Immersion concerts. Other recent performances include an appearance in the Budapest Liszt Academy and the Royal Opera House performing European Premiers of three chamber operas, and her debut at Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, performing Brett Dean’s Wolf Lieder.
Recent highlights include her Toronto Symphony debut (2020) singing Mozart’s Requiem under the direction of Sir Andrew Davis and the world premiere of two Lieder cycles from Munich composer Michael Bastien Weiss (2022). In September 2023 she sang the Munich premiere of Thomas Adès’ Powder Her Face (The Maid).
Jenavieve completed her education at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London (Opera Course and Masters) with Yvonne Kenny, and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto with Helga Tucker. She has worked in masterclasses with Thomas Hampson and Barbara Bonney in the Heidelberger ‘Frühling Fest’, and with Eugene Asti, Roger Vignoles, and Sarah Walker. During her studies she received awards and won competition prizes including a jury prize at the Pustina International Vocal Competition, the Guildhall Aria Prize, First Prize at the Dean & Chadlington Festival Competition, the Belle Shankman Award for the Arts from the Canadian Embassy, and a Drake Calleja Foundation award. She is supported by Barbara Hannigan and Equilibrium Young Artists.
