Julie Fuchs

There, she made her first operatic role debuts as Elle in L'amour masqué by Messager and Susanna in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro.

During her time at the conservatory, she met and developed relationships with artists that she is still working with today, such as the founder of the French contemporary classical music group, Le Balcon, and the pianist Alphonse Cemin.

She also made her debut in the Rossini repertoire as the Comtesse Folleville at the Zürich Opera, and sang in the televised concert in celebration of Bastille Day in Paris, under the Eiffel Tower.

Other highlights included Leïla in Bizet's Les Pêcheurs de perles at the Auditorium du Nouveau Siècle in Lille and at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.

[1] In the autumn, she made yet another role debut as Émilie/Fatime in Rameau's Les Indes galantes at the Opéra national de Paris in a highly acclaimed new production that included contemporary dancers.

The same year, she was also the center of a media firestorm regarding her firing from the Hamburg State Opera where she was scheduled to sing Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, due to her pregnancy.

[11] To conclude her season she returned to the role of Adèle in Le Comte Ory as she made her debut at the Rossini Festival.

[12] Julie commenced her 2022/23 season with a return to the Opera national de Paris for her role debut as Giulietta in Bellini’s I Capuleti E I Montecchi.

At the end of 2017, she sang Ave Maria by Franz Schubert at the televised funeral of Johnny Hallyday at the Madeleine Church in Paris.

Fuchs is particularly active on social media under the handle @juliefuchssoprano, and created the initiative #operaisopen, which seeks to prove that opera is open to everyone regardless of income, age, or education.
