Early life and training

edit

Devieilhe was born in Ifs, near Caen, France, on 12 December 1985 into a non-musician family – her parents work in special education, although her older sister teaches singing and violin.[4]

She began her musical apprenticeship at the Ifs school of music before entering the Caen Conservatory [fr] at the age of twelve in order to study the cello.[5] Influenced successively by conductor Valérie Fayet, and singing teachers Jocelyne Chamonin (Caen Conservatory), Martine Surais (Rennes Conservatory [fr]), Pierre Mervant, Malcolm Walker and Elène Golgevit[6] (Conservatoire de Paris), she became a lyrical singer.[7]

After graduating from the Lycée Malherbe,[8] Sabine Devieilhe obtained a diploma in musicology and ethnomusicology at the University of Rennes 2. In parallel with her studies, she joined the choir of the Opéra de Rennes.[9] She participated as a chorister in a production of The Flying Dutchman by Richard Wagner in 2002.[10] Her voice was praised and she became a soloist.[11] In 2008, she entered the Conservatoire de Paris in the singing class of Pierre Mervant.[12] In 2011 she was unanimously awarded first prize, with the jury's congratulations.[10]

In 2014, she sang in Lakmé by Léo Delibes at the Opéra-Comique.[21] She made her debut with the Paris Opera portraying the Queen of the Night at the Opéra Bastille in performances in March.[22]

On 11 April 2016, together with the Orchestre de chambre de Paris conducted by Christopher Franklin and the choir Les Cris de Paris,[23] she performed in a concert version of La sonnambula at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.[24][25] In September 2017, she made her debut at the Royal Opera, London in the role of the Queen of the Night.[26]
