JEREMY SCINOCCA
ABOUT
Jeremy Scinocca is an award-winning tenor based in Toronto. He has performed across Canada with companies including Vancouver Opera, Manitoba Opera, Toronto City Opera, Festival d’Opéra de Québec, Voicebox: Opera in Concert, and the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. Being featured in roles such as Nemorino in L’elisir d’amore, Tonio in La Fille du Régiment, Ruggero in La Rondine, Rodolfo in La Bohème and Tenor Soloist in Handel's Messiah, among others.
A recent alumnus of Vancouver Opera’s Yulanda M. Farris Young Artist Program, Jeremy performed the roles of Le Remendado in Carmen, Lorenzo in Lucrezia (Bolcom), and Tiberge in Le Portrait de Manon. He also covered Nadir in Les Pêcheurs de Perles, Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Ernesto in Don Pasquale.
Jeremy has also worked with Manitoba Opera as part of their Digital Emerging Artist Program, where he created and performed The Petrarch Project—a digital arts initiative that reimagines Liszt’s Petrarch Sonnets through contemporary dance and film to explore the fusion of music and movement.
In 2025, Jeremy made his role debut as both Ruggero and Prunier in La Rondine—performing Ruggero with Voicebox: Opera in Concert, and Prunier with Goodness Theatre as part of the Edmonton Fringe Festival. He also reprised the role of Le Remendado with Brott Opera, and was prominently featured in their Opera Scenes concert, performing excerpts as Tamino (The Magic Flute), the Duke (Rigoletto), Nadir (Les Pêcheurs de Perles), Rodolfo (La Bohème), and Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni).
Most recently, Jeremy appeared with the National Arts Centre Orchestra as Spoletta in Tosca, stepping into rehearsals with less than 24 hours’ notice just days before the performance.
Upcoming engagements include his debut as Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra.

"Even the smaller roles stood out, including tenor Jeremy Scinocca’s Spoletta, who shines briefly but brightly in Act 1’s 'Tre sbirre, una carrozza' and later in the climactic 'Presto, su! Mario!'” - Michael Zarathus-Cook
"Emerging Artist Jeremy Scinocca was still buzzing from a night of heavy riffs when he got the news: pack your bags, you're needed in Tosca"

Review:
Jeremy Scinocca played the hapless peasant, Nemorino, who is so desperate to be acknowledged by his love that he buys the “potion,” which is really only wine. This was Scinocca’s debut as Nemorino, and I believe, as his voice matures, that it is a harbinger of more to come. Scinocca’s lyric tenor voice had a good foundation in the middle register, but also had the intensity needed for high notes. Nowhere was this more evident than in his “Una furtiva lagrima.” This aria is so familiar that it can slip into being a redundant “best of” piece. Not so with Scinocca’s interpretation which contained lovely pianissimos and fortissimos and an ebb and flow of tempo. It was a showstopper, and the rapt silence of the audience was a tribute to Scinocca’s sensitive interpretation.

The Petrarch Project
"Pace non trovo"
"Pace non trovo" is the first iteration of The Petrarch Project. A digital arts project designed by me and supported by Manitoba Opera and their Digital Emerging Arts Program. It combines contemporary dance and my performance of Liszt's Petrarch Sonnets creating a new interpretation to these beautiful songs.
