Australian Fleuranne Brockway’s first trip to Canada was a great success. The mezzo-soprano was crowned Grand Laureate in the 2025 Concours musical international de Montréal (CMIM), winning $30,000 and a career-development grant. “Unlike many competitions, CMIM asks for true versatility—arias, art song, and oratorio—which gave me the chance to show every facet of my artistry,” Brockway says. “I loved being able to present such variety in one place and share all parts of myself as a classical musician.”
During her school years in Perth, Brockway participated in many choral programs. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Music at the University of Western Australia before joining several young-artist programs in Australia. Her studies continued in London, where she completed an Artist Diploma in Opera at the International Opera Studio of the Royal College of Music. She is now in her seventh season as a fest mezzo-soprano at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden in Germany.
Brockway had many dazzling moments last season. “A huge highlight was returning home to Western Australia after eight years to perform Suzuki in Madama Butterfly,” she says. Puccini being her favourite composer, the singer shares that this opportunity felt like living inside some of the most beautiful storytelling ever written. Another joy was performing with her pianist, Yuriko Watanabe. “I feel so grateful to have found such a gifted and inspiring collaborator to share the Montreal stage with.”
Next season, she will return to a favourite role, Carmen, sing Lel in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Snegurochka, and start to prepare for one of her dream roles, the Komponist in Ariadne auf Naxos. With many exciting engagements on the horizon, Brockway says that curiosity and excellence drive her forward.
