A “Buhnentier (stage animal)” (Musik Theater) with "a voluptuous timbre and virtuosic coloratura" (Diapason), French soprano Julie Fuchs has established herself as one the most exciting opera singers of her generation; dazzling audiences across the world’s premiere opera houses and concert halls. Winner of three Victoires de la Musique awards (including Opera Singer of the Year in 2021), and the second prize at Operalia, her repertoire ranges from baroque to contemporary music with a focus on Mozart and Bel Canto heroines.  In 2021, Ms. Fuchs was knighted as a Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture. Julie’s 2021/22 season begins with a return to the Opernhaus Zürich in the title role in L’incoronazione di Poppea. In the spring, Julie makes her role debut as Mélisande in Pelléas et Mélisande, when she returns to Gran Teatre del Liceu. She then reprises her highly-praised interpretation of Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro at the Teatro Real Madrid. She concludes her season in Paris, with a reprisal of La Folie in Laurent Pelly’s whimsical production of Rameau’s Platée at the Opéra de Paris. In concert, Julie appears with the Zürich Chamber Orchestra, and at the Opéra Grand Avignon for a special reopening gala. In the summer of 2022, she reprises the role of Adèle in Le Comte Ory at the Rossini Festival. Operatic highlights from past seasons include Marie in La fille du régiment at the  Wiener Staatsoper, Norina in Don Pasquale at Opernhaus Zürich, Fiorilla in Il Turco in Italia at Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Leïla in Les pêcheurs de perles at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, la Comtesse Adèle in Le Comte Ory à l’Opéra Comique, Giunia in Lucio Silla at Teatro Real Madrid, Musetta in La bohème at the Bayerische Staatsoper, Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, la Folie in Platée, and Nannetta in Falstaff at Opéra national de Paris, Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro at the Festival d’Aix en Provence, and Aspasia in Mitridate on tour with Les Musiciens du Louvre et Maestro Minkowski. On the concert platform, Julie’s engagements include multiple chamber music recitals, Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor and La morte d’Abel at Salzburg Festivals, her debut at the BBC Proms 2016 with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, an American concert at Chorégies d’Orange and a concert at the Philharmonie Berlin with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester. Julie has released two solo recordings: Yes! and Mademoiselle on Deutsche Grammophon. Her discography also includes a recording of early songs by Mahler and Debussy with Alphonse Cemin, a disc of Songs for Piano and Voice by Poulenc (Atma Classique), a live recording of Leïla in Les pêcheurs de perles (Pentatone), and a studio recording of Aspasia in Mitridate (Warner Classics). Julie began her musical and theatrical training in Avignon and graduated with honors from the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris. Hailed as a “pioneer” (France Musique) for her use of social media, she can be found @juliefuchssoprano on instagram, facebook, twitter and tiktok.
