Ariane Cossette - Soprano

🇬🇧 A few days in London - stop #2 on my European Spring Adventure

Last month, I had the joy of heading to London for the and go to finals!

I had such a lovely time at this competition and met incredible human beings who also happen to be so talented! I was so inspired by you all!

So many memories made in St John’s in little more than a week with !

I feel so grateful for the experience, i.e. my first movie set!, and the incredible people I met, including who guided us through this whole process!

I could not have dreamed of a better team to work with and I am glad to have spent such special moments with our little squad 💕

Who wants to attend a little watch party? ✨

📣 I am beyond excited to announce I will be singing in the quarter-finals next April and to see some familiar faces 😊!

I am beyond excited to announce I will participate in the competition in April and seeing some familiar faces again! ✨

🕰️ Jumping on this trend because honestly, I had to dig deep to find photos from this time. I did not document it, I was in such a low place after these pictures.

It feels like another lifetime ago, and it’s beautiful to see how far things have changed for the better!

Petite visite à Québec ❄️ and bonus at the end 🐈

Wandering through Old Quebec City this week brought back so many childhood memories—those cobblestone streets and 17th century buildings still hit different. And under the snow, it felt like time just...paused. Some places never lose their magic. ✨

I am in my final stretch of memorizing my next role cover: Fiordiligi. Not gonna lie, those low notes intimidated me at first, but I’m discovering I’m learning so much from her. Funny how the parts that scare you end up teaching you the most.

Spending the week at my parents’ place and completely switching up my practice routine. I’ve set some technique and repertoire goals for this year, and it’s fascinating how a change of space can totally shift the way you approach your work. Sometimes all you need is a different room to unlock something new.

2025: Year one as a full-time freelance singer out of a Young Artist Program, and I’m still here. Still singing, still dreaming, still showing up.✨

This year taught me, over again, that the career I want isn’t built in one big moment—it’s built in a thousand small ones. It’s in the flights to New York and Chicago for auditions and competitions, in making it to the semi-finals of a competition I’ve dreamed about for years, in every note I’ve practiced alone in my studio.

I spent the summer in San Francisco and fell completely in love—with the city, with the people I met, with the feeling of being exactly where I was supposed to be.

I cheered for my friends reaching milestones like signing on a National Tour, making acclaimed debuts at the and winning competitions - because watching the people you love chase their dreams reminds you why you’re chasing yours. You guys inspire me so much! 🤩

But the biggest thing I learned this year? How to love myself through the hard parts. The uncertainty, the rejection, the days when this path feels impossible. I learned that growth isn’t always loud or obvious—sometimes it’s just choosing to keep going. Slowly but surely, always moving toward something better.

Here’s to year two. To more moments that make it all worth it. And to trusting that I’m exactly where I need to be.

✨ 2026, I’m ready for you.

Tell me, what are you most excited about for 2026?

November left me so excited for next months✨
Soaking up inspiration and new vibes—first-time at the Canadian ballet AND wrestling show, thanks to my talented friends performing 💜

I also spent more time than I ever have working on contemporary music and I must say, it’s real’y growing on me! Such a challenge but so rewarding to improve my skills and to get to tell stories in more unconventional ways. 🌱

🗽Snapshots of a few days in NY auditioning and visiting my idol, the one and only Midori Marsh! 😍 I am beyond excited to see her perform in the tour later this year! What a star! 💫

Nothing beats my Fairmount Montreal style bagel but I will say, this one from was a strong contestant! 🥯

Any recommendations for my next NY visit?
