JUNO Award-winning and Grammy-nominated Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins has been hailed by Opera Today as having »a glistening, malleable baritone of exceptional beauty, and the technique to exploit its full range of expressive possibilities from comic bluster to melting beauty.«

In the 2025/26 season, Joshua Hopkins returns to two of his most acclaimed operatic roles: Mozart’s Papageno (The Magic Flute) at both The Metropolitan Opera and Semperoper Dresden and Rossini’s Figaro (Il Barbiere de Sevilla) at San Francisco Opera. His busy concert season includes the Cincinnati Symphony, the Kansas City Symphony, the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony.

His personal project, the song cycle Songs for Murdered Sisters, has been staged at Carnegie Hall and other major venues in the US and Canada with notable orchestras such as The Philadelphia Orchestra. Written by composer Jake Heggie and author Margaret Atwood, Songs for Murdered Sisters was conceived by Hopkins in remembrance of his sister, Nathalie Warmerdam, to bring awareness to ending intimate partner violence. The cycle is accompanied by a critically acclaimed film, directed by James Niebuhr, and a JUNO-nominated digital album.

In the 2024/25 season, Joshua Hopkins made a series of celebrated debuts and returns in both Europe and North America. He appeared at Semperoper Dresden, Bayerische Staatsoper, Staatsoper Berlin and The Metropolitan Opera. His Count Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro there was highly praised, broadcast worldwide as part of the MET’s Live in HD series and featured on PBS’s Great Performances. Hopkins returned to Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain for his first Beethoven Symphony No. 9 and performed with Manfred Honeck and Chicago Symphony Orchestra and with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
