The French soprano, Morgane Collomb, was born in Paris and after starting the piano at the age of 8, she joined the Académie Vocale de Paris directed by the English choral director, Iain Simcock. From 2003 to 2013 with this ensemble, she took on numerous solo roles as well as singing her line alone in a huge repertoire spanning seven centuries. In parallel, she performed stage roles from a young age and at the age of 16, she sang the role of Flora in Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, alongside Paul Agnew and Mireille Delunsch at the Bordeaux National Opera. Bordeaux invited her back in 2010 and 2012 to sing the first boy in W.A. Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, notably sharing the stage with Florian Sempey and Julien Behr.
From 2009, Morgane Collomb was a pupil of Caroline Pelon (Baroque specialist) at the Conservatoire of the 7th arrondissement in Paris and from 2014 she studied at the Haut École de Musique in Lausanne, in the class of the German baritone Christian Immler. She quickly undertook professional engagements in Switzerland, including as soloist in W.A. Mozart’s Coronation Mass at the Salle Paderewski in Lausanne under the direction of Alexander Mayer, also joined the opera chorus there. Continuing her love of ensemble singing, she was frequently engaged to sing liturgically in the churches of Fribourg, where she sang on an almost daily basis.
In June 2017, Morgane Collomb graduated with top marks from the Haut École and returned to France, confounding the Ensemble Cosmos with which she has frequently performed, in residences at the Abbaye de Royaumont, the Collège des Bernadins and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and the Cité de la Voix in Vézelay. Morgane continues to perform solo roles on stage, notably in the opera Der Zwerg by Zemlinsky, directed by Franck Ollu, at the opera houses of Caen, Lille and Rennes. She is also in regular demand as a soloist in concerts at the American Cathedral in Paris. She currently lives in Paris, France. |
