About
Mezzo-soprano Juliette Gauthier began her musical journey playing the violin and piano (D.E.M. at the CRR de Créteil in Jacqueline Bourgès-Maunoury’s class).
Passionate about singing, she joined the Maîtrise de Vincennes and later the Department for Young Singers at the CRR de Paris, before entering the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) at the age of 19, where she obtained her Master’s degree in Alain Buet’s class. A former member of the Académie Favart at the Opéra-Comique (2023/2024), she continued her training with Elsa Lévy and Hasnaa Bennani, benefited from masterclasses with prominent artists (Dame Felicity Lott, Karine Deshayes, Hervé Niquet, Véronique Gens, Mathieu Pordoy…), and took part in the International Academies of Périgord Noir and Vannes.
Winner of the Prix Génération Opéra at the Froville International Baroque Singing Competition (2022), she was awarded the 2023 Bourse Menda by the Opéra-Comique and the Fondation de France, and won the Clermont-Ferrand Competition as well as the Anna Bonitatibus Prize at the Cesti Competition in 2025.
On stage, Juliette performs, in Dido and Aeneas, as the Second Witch at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with Ensemble Diderot, and as the Second Woman in Thiré under the direction of Thomas Dunford. At the Opéra-Comique, she covered the title role in Offenbach’s Fantasio (stage dir. Thomas Jolly) and sang with the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris under Louis Langrée (Voyage au pays de Maurice Ravel, broadcast on Fauteuils d’orchestre). She performed at the Musée d’Orsay in L’amour à la Française, staged by Héloïse Sérazin in collaboration with the Palazzetto Bru Zane and Hervé Niquet. She also participated in Castor et Pollux at the Opéra de Paris (Ensemble Utopia, dir. T. Currentzis, stage dir. P. Sellars) and performed in Talestri with ARCAL at Royaumont.
In concert and oratorio, she performed as a soloist in Bach’s Magnificat (Maîtrise de Notre-Dame), Mozart’s Mass in C minor, Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été, as well as several contemporary creations (at Église Saint-Roch and Cité de la Musique). She performs regularly in recital (Prom’s des Journées Ravel with Guillem Aubry, Festival Arcades with Jennifer Fichet) and collaborates frequently with Le Concert de l’Hostel Dieu (directed by Franck-Emmanuel Comte).
During the 2025/2026 season, Juliette performed the roles of Second Witch and Sailor in Dido & Aeneas with Ensemble Les Surprises (stage dir. Pierre Lebon) at the Opéras of Limoges, Clermont-Ferrand, Tourcoing, and Montpellier, and sang the alto solos in Handel/Mozart’s Messiah in Limoges (dir. Nicolas André, stage dir. Lodie Kardouss).
For the 2026/2027 season, she joins the Génération Opéra 2026/2027 roster. She will make her debut at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa as Zulma (L’Italiana in Algeri by Rossini) and will tour again in Dido and Aeneas with Les Surprises, notably at the Opéras of Bordeaux, Saint-Étienne, and Malaga.
