Multi-award-winning Canadian soprano Alexa Frankian is already making waves in the opera and art song world at only twenty-four years old, earning praise from Opera Canada as "abundantly talented." In 2024 Alexa joined the prestigious Merola Opera Program where she delivered a “simple, unaffected, and beautifully sung Mimi” in La Bohème (San Francisco Classical Voice), and among other standout performances was recognized for “singing in a voluptuously rich Russian… the powerfully focused soprano Alexa Frankian gave an expansive meditation on God, nature and the universe in a duet from Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta, performing with a radiant, surging sense of purpose” (San Francisco Chronicle).

This year she was also offered a Resident Artist position at the esteemed Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) in Philadelphia where she will perform Suzel in L'Amico Fritz (Mascagni) and Despina in Cosi Fan Tutte (W.A Mozart). She was also awarded an Encouragement Award at the 2024/25 Met Laffont Competition Philadelphia District and 2023/24 Buffalo - Toronto District, she also holds a third-place win from the 2023 Mildred Miller International Voice Competition as its youngest participant.

In 2024 Alexa graduated with an Artist Diploma from The Royal Conservatory of Music’s Glenn Gould School, where she performed the roles of Madame Lidoine in Dialogues des Carmélites, as well as Coach in Ice Time (a new work commissioned by Tapestry Opera), and as Older Woman in Jonathan Dove’s Flight.

Alexa's passion for timeless composers like Puccini, Verdi, Strauss, Wagner, Mozart, alongside contemporary repertoire, fuels her artistic vision. She has also enjoyed collaborating on culturally significant works like Bas Sheve (Yiddish Opera - North American Premiere) and Alice Ho’s Dora Award-nominated The Monkiest King (Chinese/Canadian Opera - World Premiere).
