Biography
Mezzo-soprano and harpist, Sophie first turned to opera, both in the repertoire and in contemporary creations. She has performed throughout Europe, the United States and Asia . She has appeared in Bizet’s Carmen, Saint-Saëns’s Frédégonde at the Saïgon Opera in Vietnam, Jacqueline in Gounod’s Le Médecin malgré lui at theSaint-Etienne Opera, Nancy Tang in Adams’s Nixon in China at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Ulrica in Verdi’s Le Bal Masqué at the Mancinelli Theatre in Italy, etc.
A composer and improviser, Sophie is also a creative force. She began writing songs at an early age, accompanying herself on the harp, which she performed in a number of concerts, before composing for the performing arts.
Artistic director of the Des Lieux & Des Êtres company, Sophie creates shows around the voice, offering different aesthetics, mixing repertoire and creations.
While in confinement, she joins J.Pontier’s composition class at Pôle Sup’93- CRR d’Aubervilliers.
She wrote several pieces for prestigious ensembles and obtained her DEM in June 2023.
Sophie writes for the ensembles Court-Circuit, Ars Nova, 2E2M, Multilatérale and Accroche Note.
The Philharmonie de Paris commissioned her to create “Solstice-chant à la lune” in March 2023, and she was then named laureate of the “Territoires en Création” scheme launched by the Ars Nova ensemble, which commissioned her for the 2023-24 season.
