Coloratura soprano, Patricia Petibon, was discovered by William Christie after her training at the Paris Conservatoire under Rachel Yakar. She has since made a name for herself as one of the most versatile singers in her field, with a repertoire ranging from French Baroque to contemporary music.

Notable operatic highlights include Giunia (Lucio Silla) at the Theater an der Wien, under her close musical ally Nikolaus Harnoncourt; Berg’s Lulu in Geneva, Barcelona and Salzburg; Debussy’s Mélisande and Poulenc’s Blanche (Dialogues des Carmélites) in Paris; and all four female roles in Offenbach’s Les contes d’Hoffmann in Brussels.

Equally acclaimed on the concert stage, Petibon continues to captivate audiences, be it with her innovative recital programmes and mise-en- scène together with pianist Susan Manoff in Paris, Vienna, London and Salzburg, or alongside the ensemble Amarillis throughout her native France.

Her discography to date is testament to her artistic breadth, and includes acclaimed albums such as Nouveau Monde (Baroque arias and songs), La Belle Excentrique (French mélodies), and a more personal varied selection of works in L’amour, la mort, la mer.
