Praised for her “warm, colorful mezzo” (Opera News) and her “astonishing range and flexibility” (Boston Musical Intelligencer), Sophie Michaux has become one of New England’s most versatile and compelling vocalists. Born in London and raised in the French Alps, Sophie’s unique background informs her artistic identity, making her feel at home in an eclectic span of repertoire ranging from grand opera to French cabaret songs. Recent solo engagements include the roles of Alcina in Caccini’s La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina (Haymarket Opera), Olofernes in Scarlatti’s La Giuditta (Haymarket Opera), Ceres in Lalande’s Les Fontaines de Versailles (Boston Early Music Festival), and Clorinda in Monteverdi’s Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda ( A Far Cry), as well as soloist in the world premiere of Kevin Siegfried’s arrangement of Three Shaker Songs (Boston Symphony Chamber Players), in Handel’s Dixit Dominus (Upper Valley Baroque), and in De Falla’s El Amor Brujo (Lowell Chamber Orchestra). She is thrilled to collaborate with Blue Heron, Lorelei Ensemble, Roomful of Teeth, A Far Cry, Palaver Strings, Les Délices, Bach Collegium San Diego, Ruckus, Upper Valley Baroque, and other ensembles performing across the US.
