Susan Manoff & Julie Roset

Soprano Julie Roset makes her debut at LIFE Victoria with this program of dreams of love, combining well-known composers such as Claude Debussy, Reynaldo Hahn, and Francis Poulenc with others entirely unknown to our audience, such as Charles Koechlin, Isabelle Aboulker, or Manuel Rosenthal. A clear statement of intent from this twenty-seven-year-old soprano born in Avignon, as she champions and promotes the mélodie, the song of her homeland. This is one of the debuts of emerging names in the current Lied and opera scene that is sure to make an impact on both the public and critics. She is accompanied by Susan Manoff, one of the greats of French pianism, also making her debut at LIFE Victoria. Roset won Operalia in 2023 and the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition in 2022. This past season, she has already been conducted by William Christie, Raphaël Pichon, or Esa-Pekka Salonen at venues such as the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, the Opéra National de Paris, or the Teatro Real de Madrid. An unmissable debut.
