That Marie-Nicole Lemieux shines today at the pinnacle of the world’s vocal art is no surprise: both the singer and the woman radiate that aura reserved for the greatest!

The breadth of her voice, her beautifully sustained phrasing combined with flawless virtuosity allow her to triumph across diverse repertoires. Her early career was marked by Baroque music (Orphée et Eurydice, Giulio Cesare, Orlando Furioso…). Soon, the evolution of her voice enabled her to embrace the 19th-century French repertoire (Les Troyens, Samson et Dalila, Carmen, Werther…), Rossini (Tancredi, L’Italiana in Algeri…), Verdi (Falstaff, Il Trovatore, Un Ballo in Maschera, Aïda…) as well as Wagner (Der Ring des Nibelungen).

She pursues an international career that takes her to the world’s greatest opera stages (New York, Milan, London, Paris, Salzburg, Zurich, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels…) as well as concert halls, where Marie-Nicole Lemieux is invited to perform major symphonic works with the most prestigious orchestras and conductors.

Marie-Nicole Lemieux is a Chevalier of the National Order of Quebec, a Companion of Arts and Letters of Quebec, a member of the Order of Canada and of the Ordre de la Pléiade. She also holds an honorary doctorate from the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.
