Instrument: Mezzo-Soprano
After studying singing and harpsichord at the Conservatoire de musique de Québec, Rachèle Tremblay decided to further her vocal training in private with Cécile Bédard. At the nationwide auditions for Les Jeunes ambassadeurs lyriques, she received an award from the Centre National d’Artistes Lyriques (France), going on to become a resident at the arts centre in the 2008-2009 season. In the fall of 2009, she sang the role of Mrs. Smith in the premiere of La Cantatrice chauve, set to music by Gérard Calvi, at the Opéra de Montpellier. Following a second audition for Les Jeunes ambassadeurs lyriques in 2010, she completed an internship at Le Domaine Des Arts de la Roche d’Hys in France. She received a LOJIQ award for young Quebec opera talent, and was chosen to be a member of the Bayerische Staatsoper’s Junge Ensemble program in Munich. She will appear in concert in Japan in July 2011, and has been engaged by the State Opera Stara Zagora in Bulgaria.
