Drawing from her diverse experience as a violinist, conductor, and coach, EMILY SENTURIA approaches operatic repertoire with a sympathetic affinity for both singers and instrumentalists. This season, Senturia returns to West Edge Opera (Rinaldo), Opera Santa Barbara (Giulio Cesare), and Kentucky Opera (La traviata), and makes her debut at Madison Opera (Così fan tutte). She has recently led Le nozze di Figaro at Wolf Trap Opera and The Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera, and has also conducted at The Glimmerglass Festival, Minnesota Opera, The Atlanta Opera, and Florida Grand Opera.

​

Senturia conducted the world premiere of Bulrusher for West Edge Opera in 2024, and music directed the world premiere of Denis & Katya at Opera Philadelphia's O19 Festival. She has been on the music staff at Houston Grand Opera (Nixon in China, Tosca, Faust, Aida), the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (Le nozze di Figaro), Wolf Trap Opera (The Ghosts of Versailles, Giulio Cesare, La bohème), and Opera Philadelphia (Sky on Swings, Elizabeth Cree, War Stories). Senturia is an alum of the Houston Grand Opera Studio, Wolf Trap, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Royal Academy of Music.
