Acclaimed on the world's greatest stages, the Quebec contralto enjoys a special relationship with the Opéra Orchestre, nurtured in particular by a 2016 recording with the Orchestre national Montpellier featuring the music of Gioachino Rossini, as well as by her moving interpretation of Charlotte in Jules Massenet's Werther in 2021. She returns today with a more intimate repertoire, alongside her faithful collaborator of over twenty years, pianist Daniel Blumenthal, with whom she has forged a rare artistic synergy, and Cyrille Tricoire De Haro, principal cellist of the Orchestra. Together, they explore the many facets of love: the tenderness and spirituality of Johannes Brahms's Zwei Gesänge and Vier ernste Gesänge respond to the poignant Expressions lyriques of Massenet, the final declaration of love from a composer at the height of his powers. A rare, intense and deeply embodied recital.
