Grand Winner of the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2022, soprano Julie Roset began her vocal studies at an early age joining the Conservatoire du Grand Avignon going on to graduate with honors from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève in 2019. She was awarded her artist diploma in Opera Studies from the Juilliard School in 2022.
Already making her mark on the operatic stage at this early career point, Julie Roset has appeared as Papagena in Die Zauberflöte at Opéra de Toulon and she made her Paris debut as Amour in Mondonville’s Titon & l’Aurore with Les Arts Florissants and William Christie at l’Opéra Comique. Appearances at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence include both Valletto and Amore in L’Orfeo under the baton of Leonardo García Alarcón and as Clorinde in Il Combattimento, la théorie du cygne noir, a musical journey through the Italian baroque conducted by Sebastien Daucé. She sang the role of Amour in Les Indes Galantes at Opéra Royal de Versailles as well as at the Beaune Festiva and appeared as Euridice in performances of Rossi’s Orfeo at the Juilliard.
As a concert performer, Julie Roset has already formed strong connections with numerous ensembles including Leonardo Garcia Alarcón’s Cappella Mediterranea with whom she has given performances of Bach’s B-minor Mass in Dijon and Versailles, a programme of a voce sola works by Monteverdi at the Festival de Valloire, and Sacrati’s La finta pazza at the Concertgebouw.
