Julie Fuchs - by Capucine de Chocqueuse(1).jpg

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), second prize at Operalia in 2013, and Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres, her repertoire ranges from baroque to contemporary music with a focus on Mozart and Bel Canto heroines. 
 

Julie’s 2022/23 season begins with a return to the Opera national de Paris for her role debut as Giulietta in Bellini’s I Capuleti E I Montecchi. She makes her second role debut of the season as Cleopatra in a new production of Handel’s Giulio Cesare at the Dutch National Opera. In the spring, she returns to the Opernhaus Zürich to reprise the role ofNorina in Don Pasquale, and makes her long anticipated role debut as Juliette in a new production of Romeo et Juliette. Julie concludes her season in Barcelona, with a reprisal of the title role in Calixto Bieito’s production of Monteverdi’s L'incoronazione di Poppea at Gran Teatre del Liceu. In concert, Julie appears with the Camerata Salzburg for Mozart’s Requiem at the Mozarteum Salzburg,  and with the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne for Mozart’s Requiem and Exsultate Jubilate.

A Sony recording artist, Julie released her first album for the label, Amadè, in November 2022, which was accompanied by concerts at Grand Théâtre de Provence in Aix-en-Provence and at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris with the orchestra Les Siècles.  Julie has previously released two solo albums on Deutsche Grammophon label: Yes! and Mademoiselle and her wider discography 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).

#OPERAISOPEN - Follow on Instagram!

  • Instagram

In 2018, Julie launched an international project which set out to prove that opera is open to anyone who wishes to attend, regardless of their income, background, education or age. Although many opera houses have made great efforts to create programs which aim to make opera affordable to everyone especially in recent years, those who have never been to the opera still often feel that the art form remains closed to them and feel unsure as to whether opera is 'for them'.

 

Known as the “down to earth diva,” who came from a family of modest means with no background in classical music, Julie is the perfect ambassador for this project as opera was opened to her at a young age.

 

Julie uses her active presence on social media as a vehicle to promote this initiative. She does this by:

 

1) Posting content to "open up" the operatic process to her followers and the followers on the @opearisopen account, giving them a behind-the-scenes look, and answering questions in her posts and stories. 

 

2) Posting about the initiatives which dissolve financial barriers, educate or seek to include a broader public at each venue where she sings. (She informs her followers about student tickets, group tickets, senior tickets, last minute tickets etc.)

 

3) Holding competitions on her social media to win a pair of tickets. To by in with a chance, one of her followers must bring a guest that has never attended the opera. She then meets the winner, and shares their thoughts on social media about the experience.

 

4) Encouraging her colleagues and the companies where she sings to use the hashtag #operaisopen to spread the message that opera is truly open to anyone.
