It is no wonder that Marie-Nicole Lemieux shines today in the world of singing: the singer like the woman radiates an aura that belongs only to the greatest.

Her powerful voice, her superb sense of line and a faultless virtuosity, as well as her sense of nuance and drama, allow her to triumph in various repertoires. The beginning of her career was marked by Baroque music (Orphée by Gluck, Giulio Cesare, Orlando Furioso…). The evolution of her voice soon allowed her to take on the French repertoire of the 19th century (Les Troyens, Samson et Dalila, Carmen, Werther…), Rossini (Guillaume Tell, Tancredi, L’italiana in Algeri…) and also Verdi (Falstaff, Il trovatore, Un ballo in maschera…) as well as Wagner (Der Ring des Nibelungen).

Marie-Nicole Lemieux pursues an international career that takes her to the world’s great operatic venues (New York, Milan, London, Paris, Salzburg, Zurich, Vienna, Madrid, Brussels…), and alongside her stage career, she is invited to sing the great symphonic repertoire with prestigious orchestras and under the direction of renowned conductors.

She is acclaimed as a peerless recital artist with an exceptional vocal palette, having a special talent for French and Russian songs, as well as German lieder.

Marie-Nicole Lemieux is a Knight of the French Order of Arts and Letters, Knight of the National Order of Quebec, a member of the Order of Canada and the Order of La Pleiade. She also holds a Doctorate Honoris Causa from the Universite du Quebec at Chicoutimi.
