Manon Lamaison
Soprano
"Soprano Manon Lamaison captivates with a vibrant stage presence and a dramatic intelligence that make her one of the most complete artists of her generation." — Forum Opéra
A soprano on a meteoric rise, Manon Lamaison is establishing herself on the international stage with her radiant timbre and refined interpretations. She made a significant impact at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées as Sœur Constance(Dialogues des Carmélites), directed by Olivier Py and conducted by Karina Canellakis, as well as in the role of Pamina (Die Zauberflöte) under the direction of Cédric Klapisch.
This season is marked by several prestigious collaborations. In January 2026, she returns to the Opéra Orchestre National de Montpellier to perform Mozart’s Coronation Mass conducted by Marc Korovitch. In February, she joins the Collegium Vocale Gent under the baton of Sébastien Daucé. She then returns to the Théâtre des Champs-Élyséesfor two major productions: first appearing as Belinda in Dido and Aeneas conducted by Stéphane Fuget, followed by Blondchen (Die Entführung aus dem Serail) under the direction of Laurence Equilbey (staged by Florent Siaud). In July 2026, she will join the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Rouen Normandie for an exceptional bel canto project conducted by Tanguy de Williencourt.
The following season confirms her growing presence on major French stages. Starting in October 2026, she will portray the luminous Sophie in Massenet's Werther at the Opéras of Rennes, Angers, and Nantes. In 2027, she returns to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, reuniting with conductor Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre for the title role of Aricie in Hippolyte et Aricie. She will also make her highly anticipated debut as Leïla (Les Pêcheurs de Perles) at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Opéra de Lille.
In addition to her operatic engagements, she created the show Bon Voyage! at the Théâtre du Temps in Paris, alongside pianist Benjamin Patrier-Leitus. Manon Lamaison is currently preparing for several high-profile upcoming projects: the summer of 2027 will feature a particularly awaited role debut as she portrays one of the most iconic Mozartian heroines on one of the world's most prestigious lyric stages—a major milestone set to be one of the season’s highlights.
