Always attracted to singing, I learned the technical bases of this art thanks to Eric Frachey at the Chantilly conservatory and had my first stage experiences in The Marriage of Figaro or La Périchole. I then joined the Ecole Normale Alfred Cortot in Paris in 2014 in order to develop my knowledge and supplement it with music theory and music history courses. I therefore began a demanding two-year apprenticeship with Ms. Caroline Dumas, including numerous auditions which allowed me to sing arias from Aïda, Fiordiligi, Rusalka and even Mimi. Nevertheless, I wanted to continue my studies with Me Denize at the Schola Cantorum in Paris because I admired her career and also her singing students that I used to meet during competitions and who all had good technique and interesting interpretation. I therefore had the joy of joining her class for six years until 2022, along with obtaining my advanced diploma in lyrical singing in 2020. These last few years have allowed me to improve technically and to have more and more confidence in my practice. During auditions, Masterclasses, competitions or concerts, I had the opportunity to familiarize myself with the stage. I took on roles as diverse as those, among others, of : the Countess, Susanna, Pamina, Fiordiligi, Donna Anna, Zaïde, Norma, Amina, Elvira, Anna, Lucrezia, Agathe, Elsa, Gulnara, Medora, Violetta, Elisabetta, Floria Tosca, Mimi, Magda de Civry. I have also performed several Strauss lieder and I plan to prepare a recital that would highlight some of these works. Before that, I am currently preparing two operatic shows, one featuring European court tunes from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The other focuses on Italian opera from the 19th and early 20th centuries. I also recently joined an opera troupe in Paris, ALCP, which allows me to tackle other repertoires such as certain Offenbach operettas or even the oratorio with the tunes of Handel’s Messiah.
