Marie-Cécile Chevassus Mezzo-soprano
Biography
Member of the Chœurs de l'Opéra national de Paris
Marie-Cécile Chevassus studied piano and violin for ten years before devoting herself to singing. She entered the Université François Rabelais in Tours, where she obtained a degree in musicology in 1987, followed by the CAPES in musicology in 1988. During this period, she extended her vocal practice to all repertoires, from early music (Boni, Palestrina...) through Baroque to contemporary repetitive music.
By choice, she gave up teaching to devote herself to her vocation as a singer, which she pursued first at the Opéra de Nantes and then at the Opéra national du Rhin. In 1995 and 1996, she won second prize in the Béziers and Alès competitions, and was a finalist in the Belvedere International Competition in Vienna. Since 1995, she has been a member of the Chœurs de l'Opéra national de Paris, where she regularly performs as a soloist on major stages. She also performs regularly as a solo vocal quartet in concert programs at the Studio Bastille.
