Praised for her “crystalline voice” (Revue L’Opéra) and described as “a delight to hear” (Opera Going TO), soprano Thera Barclay is in demand as an interpreter of operatic, recital, and concert repertoire. She has graced stages across the nation, having performed in Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and British Columbia, as well as internationally in Berlin, Germany; Sulmona, Italy; Prangins, Switzerland; and Vermont, U.S.A.

Notable performances include Gretel (Hansel and Gretel), Flora (The Turn of the Screw), Esmeralda (Prodaná nevěsta), Marie (La fille du régiment), Marzelline (Fidelio), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Mabel (The Pirates of Penzance), and Barbarina (The Marriage of Figaro).

Ms. Barclay completed her Artist Diploma in Voice at The Glenn Gould School in Toronto, ON in 2021. She holds a Master of Music degree in Opera from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver BC, as well as an Honours Bachelor of Music degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, ON.

Ms. Barclay grew up in Ottawa, ON, and has a vested interest in curly hair products, craft beer, and befriending the neighbourhood cats. Of Sri Lankan heritage on her mother's side, she also enjoys a good curry, pol sambol, and all the Sri Lankan short eats she can possibly get her hands on.
