Stéphanie d’Oustrac

Description

Stéphanie d'Oustrac is one of those rare opera singers whose vocal energy never ceases to impress. A specialist of the French and baroque repertoires, the mezzo-soprano has graced the stage of La Monnaie on several occasions, notably in Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice, Berlioz’s Béatrice et Bénédict and the world premiere of Mernier’s La dispute. This season, besides appearing as Costanza in I Grotteschi (Monteverdi) and performing the title role in Carmen, she will be sharing her expertise with students of the MM Academy – and you! – during this open masterclass.

Spécialiste du répertoire français et du répertoire baroque, la mezzo-soprano s’est illustrée à maintes reprises sur la scène de la Monnaie, notamment dans Orphée et Eurydice de Gluck, Béatrice et Bénédict de Berlioz et pour la création mondiale de La dispute de Mernier. Cette saison, en plus d’interpréter Costanza dans I Grotteschi (Monteverdi) et le rôle-titre dans Carmen (Bizet), elle transmettra tout son savoir-faire aux membres de la MM Academy lors d’une master classe exceptionnelle.

Stéphanie d’Oustrac behoort tot die zeldzame zangeressen die je met hun buitengewone toneelpresence en doorleefde expressiviteit werkelijk élke keer opnieuw weten te imponeren. De mezzosopraan, gespecialiseerd in het Franse repertoire en de barok, sierde al meermaals het podium van de Munt, onder meer in Glucks Orphée et Eurydice, Berlioz’ Béatrice et Bénédict en de wereldpremière van Merniers La dispute. Dit seizoen maakt ze haar opwachting in Brussel voor vertolkingen van Costanza in de nieuwe Monteverdi-diptiek I Grotteschi en de titelrol in Carmen, maar eerst deelt ze haar expertise met de zangers van de MM Academy tijdens deze open masterclass!
