BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Normandy, Sabine Devieilhe first studied cello and musicology before dedicating herself completely to her vocal studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. Soon after graduating, she was invited to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence to sing Serpetta in Mozart’s La finta giardiniera, to Montpellier for the title role in Léo Delibes’ Lakmé and to Lyon for her debut as Queen of the Night in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. She was named “Révélation Artiste Lyrique” at the 20th edition of the Victoires de la Musique in 2013.
Since then she has been a regular name in all major opera houses including the Opéra national de Paris, Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Opéra Comique, La Monnaie in Brussels, the Opernhaus Zürich, Vienna State Opera, Milan’s La Scala, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Glyndebourne Festival and the Salzburg Festival.
Sabine Devieilhe celebrated her most recent successes as Morgana in Handel’s Alcina at the Opéra de Paris, as Ophélie in Thomas' Hamlet at the Opéra Comique, as Cleopatra in Handel’s Giulio Cesare at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, and Ilia in Mozart’s Idoemeno at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Her 2022/2023 season featured an acclaimed new production of Délibe's Lakmé at the Opéra, together with her Metropolitan Opera debut in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmelites (Soeur Constance), and productions of Les Mamelles de Tirésias and Stravinsky's Le Rossignol at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées.
In summer 2023, Sabine Devieilhe was heard for the first time as Susanna in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at the Salzburg Festival, followed by a revival of Delibe's Lakmé at the Opéra National du Rhin in Strasbourg. At the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, she celebrated a huge success as Mélisande in a new production of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande. During the 2024-2025 season, Sabine Devieilhe will take on the role of Sophie in a new production of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier at La Scala in Milan and return to the Opéra National de Paris as Mélisande. The soprano can also be heard again as Sophie and as Zdenka in Strauss' Arabella at the Vienna State Opera.
Sabine Devieilhe is an equally welcome guest on the concert stage, whether it be Handel & Bach arias with the Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, or Britten's Les Illuminations with the Bayerische Staatskapelle under Vladimir Jurowski. In autumn 2023, she made her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker singing Mozart arias under the baton of Maxim Emelyanychev and with the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Klaus Mäkelä. Her first collaboration with Sir Simon Rattle in concert performances of Mozart's Idomeneo (Ilia) was also crowned with success. In the 2024-2025 season, she will appear with the Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon in Brahms' Requiem, Fauré's Requiem and excerpts from Ambrois Thomas' Hamlet. In late December, Sabine Devieilhe will ring in the Strauss 2025 anniversary year with Strauss' Frühlingsstimmen-Walzer with the Orchestre de Paris under the baton of Daniel Harding.
No stranger to the Lied genre, Sabine Devieilhe released her new album with songs by Mozart and Strauss in March 2024 - a programme she took with Mathieu Pordoy in 2024 to Dijon, Paris, Bordeaux, London's Wigmore Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Heidelberger Frühling Festival, the Essen Philharmonie and the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. In autumn 2024, she can be heard again in recital at the Opéra Comique, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Dortmund and Lausanne.
Sabine Devieilhe has been an exclusive artist for Erato/Warner Classics since 2012. Her debut disc of Rameau arias won several awards, including a Diapason d'Or. Her more recent recordings have included a Mozart album The Weber Sisters with Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, and her solo album Mirages with Les Siècles under François-Xavier Roth, for which she was awarded two coveted trophies at the 25th edition of the Victoires de la Musique. In September 2020, Erato/Warner Classics released an imaginatively balanced recital in which Sabine Devieilhe and pianist Alexandre Tharaud interpret songs by Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Poulenc. The following year, the label released an exquisite Handel-Bach album featuring Sabine Devieilhe, Ensemble Pygmalion, and Raphaël Pichon that garnered critical acclaim among audiences and the press.
