LEN CRINO
Len Crino is a multidisciplinary artist, having graduated from McGill University in May 2026, earning his Masters in Voice. Studying with Tracy Smith-Bessette, he previously studied classical voice under the direction of Estelí Gomez at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music for his Bachelor's degree. Len is a transgender soprano who nurtures an interest in contemporary opera and also reimagines classic soprano roles through a queer lens. Most recently, Len sang the role of “Bird” in McGill’s fall production of Blond Eckbert, and the role of “Tax form T4A” in the winter production of Tax Opera by Rebecca Gray. Upcoming roles with Opera McGill include “Oberto” in Alcina, and “Toby” in The Medium. For the past two years Len has been the assistant to the set designer for Opera McGill, most recently designing two Horizons Projects this fall, Down in the Valley and Riders to the Sea. Len is also an aspiring director, having assistant directed Opera 5’s Elegies in 2025, and both Opera McGill’s Essential Rossini program and the Contemporary Opera Ensemble production. Outside of his masters program, Len sings soprano with a professional church choir in St. Lambert QC, swing dances, draws, and teaches voice lessons. Len’s small voice studio consists of transgender and queer identifying students, as he is furthering his education to specialize in training voices undergoing hormone therapy and vocal dysphoria. Len will be featured in the new opera Parḗlios and assistant direct Gianni schicchi during the summer internship program at Opera 5..
