mezzo-soprano
Adèle Charvet made her operatic debut as Merceded in Bizet’s Carmen at the Royal Opera House. From then on, her career took off. She has cultivated her singularity by eagerly embracing all repertoires, from early to contemporary music, and adapting to all forms: recitals of song and piano, chamber music, opera, concerts with orchestra, with renowned ensembles and conductors such as March Minkowski, Raphaël Pichon, François-Xavier Roth, John Eliot Gardiner, Lahav Shani, Vincent Dumestre and Julien Chauvin.
Since 2015, she has been working with pianist Florian Caroubi with whom she shares a passion for music and poetry. Together they have won the Prix de Mélodie at the Concours International Nadia et Lili Boulanger, then the Grand Prize of the International Vocal Compresion ‘s Hertogenbosch as well as four special prizes.
She has participated at the Verbier Festival where she won the Yves Paternot Prize, honouring the most promising musician of the academy.
In 2019, she recorded her first album Long Time Ago with pianist Susan Manoff, an American music and English airs programme for Alpha Classics. Since then, her eclecticism has been reflected in her recording projects, with a rich repertoire exploring all forms and periods, from chamber music to opera. Her most recent recording, Teatro Sant’Angelo, about the Venetian theatre of which Vivaldi was the impresario, recorded with Le Consort, was awarded the Diamant d’Opéra Magazine, 4T Télérama, 5* BBC Music Magazine.
She recently appeared in Les Troyens conducted by Sinis Sousa in Berlin, at the BBC Proms and in Versailles, Wozzeck at the Verbier Festival conducted by Lahav Shani, Romeo and Juliet at the Opéra-Comique, in The Barber of Seville and La Cenerentola at the Capitole in Toulouse, Pelléas and Mélisande at the Rouen Opera House and in Jeanne d’Arc au bûcher at the Berliner Philharmonie with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Alan Gilbert.
Adèle Charvet made her debut at the Festival de Saint-Denis in 2021 with Le Consort-Justin Taylor in a programme based on Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Friedrich Haendel and Maria Teresa Agnesi, then sang again in 2022 in works by Vivaldi with Julien Chauvin and Le Concert de la Loge.
