Voice 2022 – Aria Division
Soprano
2022: Raised in Gatineau, soprano Sophie Naubert made a notable soloist debut with the Orchestre Métropolitain at the age of 23, singing under conductor and Music Director of The Metropolitan Opera and the Orchestre Métropolitain, Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
Sophie Naubert studied at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal before beginning a master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. In 2021, she became a Jeune Ambassadrice Lyrique, took first prize in both the Sherbooke and Hal Leonard Music Competitions, and placed third in the OSM Competition.
Alongside operatic roles like Ilia in Idomeneo and Belinda in Dido and Aeneas, Naubert finds a vocal fit in art song. A composer herself, she wrote two works for voice and piano: Les trois moitiés d’une planète and The Lost Child: A 12-Tone Serial Song.
