Lucie Peyramaure
French lyric-dramatic soprano Lucie Peyramaure has rapidly established herself as one of the most promising voices of her generation, attracting international attention for the richness of her timbre, the breadth of her dramatic expression and the power of her voice.
Her breakthrough came in 2023 when she made a striking impression as Aza in Paderewski’s Manru at Opéra National de Lorraine (Nancy). ClassiqueNews hailed her as “the revelation of the evening”, praising “a great lyrical voice already ready for all the major Puccini heroines, a large and powerful instrument with secure, ringing top notes.” Shortly afterwards, her portrayal of Freia in Wagner’s Das Rheingold at Theater Basel confirmed her exceptional potential in the German repertoire. Operagazet described her performance as “impressive in terms of sound, with a big, dramatic voice one would also like to hear as Senta or Elisabeth.” She was nominated in the “Best Opera Newcomer” category at the 2026 Victoires de la Musique Classique, confirming her position among the most promising young artists on the French operatic scene.
Her repertoire already spans an unusually broad stylistic range, from Baroque to contemporary works, with a particular affinity for the great lyric-dramatic heroines of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Recent operatic engagements include Mimì (Bohème) in Nancy, Dijon, Luxembourg and Caen, Tosca at Theater Freiburg; Freia (Das Rheingold) and Helmwige (Die Walküre) at Theater Basel; the title role in Samaras’ Medgé at the historic Olympia Theatre in Athens with the Athens Philharmonia Orchestra; Ottavia in Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea (Il Nerone) with the Académie de l’Opéra national de Paris; Diane in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride at Opéra National de Lorraine; Offenbach’s La Périchole at Opéra-Comique in Paris and Opéra de Dijon; and Hahn’s Mon bel inconnu for Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich. She also appeared in Grieg’s Peer Gynt at Théâtre du Châtelet and has performed the title role in Gluck’s Alceste and Marguerite in Berlioz’s La Damnation de Faust in Paris.
An accomplished concert artist, Lucie Peyramaure is equally sought after in the symphonic and sacred repertoire. Her performances include Verdi’s Requiem in Konstanz, Poulenc’s Gloria in Montpellier, Duruflé’s Requiem at the Cathédrale des Invalides in Paris, Mozart’s Requiem with Ensemble Contraste, Dvořák’s Stabat Mater with Atelier des Songes, Rossini’s Petite Messe solennelle at the Festival du Potager du Roi in Versailles, Ravel’s Chansons madécasses at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, and Brahms’ Liebeslieder Walzer alongside pianist David Fray at L’Offrande Musicale.
A dedicated recital performer, she has appeared in solo programmes at the Chorégies d’Orange, the Opéra National de Bordeaux, and the Festival International de Cadaqués, where she presented a Schubert programme with pianist David Fray.
The coming season will see important role debuts that reflect the natural evolution of her voice toward the central lyric-dramatic repertoire : Foreign Princess in Rusalka at Theater Basel, Charlotte in Werther in Rennes, Nantes and Angers, Gertrude in Hamlet in Tenerife.
A graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, Lucie Peyramaure came to international attention immediately after completing her studies when she won four awards at the 2022 Concours International de Chant de Marmande, including the Grand Prize and the Audience Prize. Combining vocal brilliance with musical intelligence and compelling stage presence, she is increasingly recognised as one of the most exciting French sopranos of her generation, equally at home in the French, Italian and German repertoires, with a repertoire that continues to expand towards the great dramatic roles of Puccini, Wagner and Strauss.
