Alexandre Adra, a Franco-Lebanese born in Canada, studied at the Conservatoire de Rennes, then in the baroque opera class at the CRR de Paris (Stéphane Fuget) and at the Studio Lyrique Il Caravaggio (Camille Delaforge).
He was a finalist in the Marmande competition and the Voix Nouvelles Grand-Ouest competition in 2022, and a prizewinner in the Corsica Lyrica competition in 2023. In 2024, he won a grant from Arcal as part of their “Jeune scène lyrique” programme.
On stage, he has taken on several roles from the repertoire, including Golaud in Pelléas et Mélisande, Sarastro in La Flûte Enchantée, The Commander and Masetto in Don Giovanni, The Armchair and The Tree in L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, Simone in Gianni Schicchi, The Marquis d’Obigny in La Traviata, and more. His baroque training has enabled him to take on the role of Caronte in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and the Genie du Froid in Purcell’s The Fairy Queen.
With Angers-Nantes Opéra, he regularly takes part in the “Ça va mieux en le chantant” series, and is invited back for Saint-Saëns’s Requiem and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria.
This season, he is taking part in Rameau’s Pygmalion at the Pontoise Baroque Festival with the Ensemble Il Caravaggio and will be appearing in June at the Opéra de Versailles as Ebro and Giove in Landi’s La morte d’Orfeo conducted by Stéphane Fuget and his ensemble Les Epopées.
