Ms. Sills was named as one of York University’s to 30 Alumni Under 30 for 2022 and was one Canada’s 30 hot classical musicians under 30 for 2020 by CBC Music.  

One of the most exciting emerging sopranos of her generation, Jonelle recently made her company debut at the Canadian Opera Company as Mimi in La bohème, where she was lauded for being a “beautifully sensitive Mimi with careful control and colour” (The Globe and Mail).

Upcoming this season, Sills looks forward to returns to Edmonton Opera as Roselinde in Strauss’ Die Fledermaus, and the Guelph Symphony Orchestra for a New Years Day celebration. Additionally, she joins the musical cast of Rhapsody in Blue: A Gershwin Celebration for the composer’s centenary in venues across Ontario, and tours Joplin’s Treemonisha with Volcano Theatre and Chicago’s Harris Theatre.
