Praised for her “warm, colorful mezzo” by Opera News, French mezzo-soprano Sophie Michaux is one of North America's most versatile vocalists. Born in London and raised in the French Alps, her diverse background informs her artistry, spanning grand opera to French cabaret. A consummate singing actor, she has earned acclaim for roles such as Ceres in Les Fontaines de Versailles (Boston Early Music Festival) and the title roles in La Cenerentola, The Rape of Lucretia, and Rinaldo, the latter earning her a Best Female Performer nomination at the 2015 Arts Impulse Theatre Awards.
A sought-after soloist, Sophie has performed with the Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras, as well as Bach Collegium San Diego. Recent highlights include the premiere of Paul Rudoi’s Transcendental Passion with the Boston Cecilia and Handel’s Messiah at Trinity Church Boston. She has received numerous accolades, including second place at the 2021 Handel Aria Competition and the William Grogan Award at the 2022 Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo Competition.
Beyond classical music, Sophie is passionate about folk and world music. A core member of the Lorelei Ensemble, she has also performed with Blue Heron and Boston Lyric Opera. She co-founded Sophie et Adam, a folk duo, and founded Culomba, a world music vocal ensemble. Sophie has toured extensively with Northern Harmony, performing diverse vocal traditions from the Balkans, Georgia, South Africa, and the U.S.
