Emy Gazeilles has emerged as one of France’s most captivating young voices — a musician who transforms every role into an act of storytelling, from Verdi’s heart-wrenching Gilda to Handel’s royal Cleopatra. With a timbre that dances between crystalline purity and warm lyricism, she doesn’t sing; she inhabits.

Trained at the hallowed National Superior Conservatory of Paris, Gazeilles’ ascent has been remarquable: youngest member of the Paris Opera’s prestigious Ensemble, laureate of Voix Nouvelles and a rising star on France’s grandest stages — Bastille, Garnier, the Chorégies d’Orange — where critics hail her « bright and radiant soprano » (Diapason), they also highlight her ability to approach Haydn with insolent fluency, her technique dissolving the score's challenges into pure musical spontaneity (Forum opera).  

Whether barreling through the intensity of Mozart’ Susanna, baring the vulnerability of Bizet’s Micaëla, or unlocking the devotional depths of Poulenc’s Sœur Constance, Gazeilles approaches each role with precision and heart. 

Her collaborations — like the electrifying Semele under Emmanuelle Haïm — reveal an artist hungry for reinvention, while her jump-in performance of Tailleferre’s Concerto de la fidélité at the Philharmonie de Paris proved her a daredevil of the highest musical order.  

Beyond opera, she illuminates concert halls with works spanning Britten’s Les Illuminations to Dvořák’s Gypsy songs, her musical curiosity knows no bounderies. Named a Young Talent by France Inter and One to Watch by Culturebox, Gazeilles is not only climbing the ranks — she’s redefining what it means to be a soprano of her generation.
