As of a newspaper report in Vancouver Sun Clip from article: Soprano Shannon Chan-Kent will sing favourite arias by Verdi and Mozart. The Vancouver native received her M. Music degree from UBC earlier this year and she recently sang the role of the Fairy Godmother in Massenet’s Cendrillon. Though just starting out in her career, Chan-Kent is one of those super lyric sopranos who sing happily way up in the high notes. Appropriately, the notorious “Queen of the Night” aria from The Magic Flute is on Sunday’s playlist.

And if you’ve ever wondered what an opera singer might do in her time off stage, Chan-Kent has an interesting sideline; she’s an voice-over actress, going into her third season with the animated My Little Pony television series. “I do Silverspoon, the little sister pony, and I do all of the singing for Pinky Pie.” Chan-Kent thinks her ability to do high, child-like voices has been her appeal. “The voice-over world is a very small community, so I was extremely lucky to get an entrée into it.”
