Montpellier, Salle Pasteur, Le Corum

July 16th, Thursday 2026, 12:30 pm

As part of the warm and welcoming Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival, Brenda Poupard, Anouk Defontenay and Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin—three young singers, each gifted with a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice—will come together for a concert unlike any other. Selected in 2025 to take part in a masterclass led by Marianne Crebassa, herself a mezzo-soprano, the idea arose to invite them one year later to perform together, alongside their close musical partner, pianist Anne Pagès-Boisset. Although they share the same vocal range, their voices are strikingly different in colour, allowing them to alternate between solo, duo and trio numbers without ever giving the impression of a single voice simply multiplied two or three times. With music by Pauline Viardot, Bizet, Gluck and others, this programme offers a threefold exploration of the mezzo-soprano voice.

At the Pont-Croix Festival – Voice and Chamber Music (summer 2026), the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame de Roscudon provides its warm acoustics for a recital where the voice meets the art of the string quartet: mezzo-soprano Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (nominated as Lyric Artist Revelation at the Victoires de la Musique Classique 2026) joins forces with pianist Gabriel Durliat and the Quatuor Hermès—winners of the Geneva Competition and quartet in residence at the Fondation Singer-Polignac—for a journey through French music, rich in poetry, clarity, and sweeping lyrical impulse. The programme (Saturday 11 July 2026) moves from Fauré to Debussy, Duparc to Chausson, and culminates in Ravel’s String Quartet, including the jewel of chamber song, Chausson’s Chanson perpétuelle for voice, quartet and piano.

Capitole de Toulouse

26th June to 6th July 2026

Role of Mercédès (all casts)

Carmen is the most popular opera in the world, and one of the most moving—a searing tragedy of a woman who confronts her fate to assert her freedom to the very end.

In 2022, Marie-Nicole Lemieux made a historic debut in the title role, despite the challenging context of the health crisis. To overcome that difficult time and to offer you once again, in the best possible conditions, Jean-Louis Grinda’s beautiful production, a swift revival was essential. This revival promises to be spectacular, with two exceptional casts and Leo Hussain at the podium, an ideal conductor in the French repertoire.

May 3rd 2026, Sunday

1 piano, 2 voices, 4 hands… and a thousand stories to tell!
This is the starting point of this original recital, where roles intertwine, hands multiply, and voices engage in dialogue to create a world that is both playful and poetic.

For this special occasion, two piano-voice duos, finalists of the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Competition, come together: Félix Merle (baritone) and Flore-Élise Capelier (piano), alongside Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (mezzo-soprano) and Ayano Kamei (piano).

The four artists share far more than a stage: they are all alumni of the Académie de l’Opéra Comique and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP), where they forged strong artistic and personal bonds. Longtime friends, they reunite here to create a program that reflects who they are—rooted in excellence and the joy of sharing.

Throughout this recital, they invite you to step into the world of storytelling: whispered or radiant tales, whimsical characters, and emotions laid bare. A journey where music becomes narrative, and where the four performers play with the conventions of the recital to reinvent its very form.

Les Maisonnettes - Gargenville

March 27th, Friday

Ayano Kamei (piano) and Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (mezzo-soprano), top prizewinners of the 13th International Nadia & Lili Boulanger Singing-Piano Competition (Grand Prix Rainier III of Monaco), place their musical partnership at the service of a recital devoted to women composers, bringing to light works too rarely heard and restoring these creative voices to the spotlight. The programme weaves a sensitive, wide-ranging journey—from the refined melodic art of Hedwige Chrétien, or Ina Boyle, to the expressive intensity of song in Clara Schumann, the elegance and wit of Pauline Viardot, the Romantic sweep of Augusta Holmès, and other composers besides—moving between intimacy, salon brilliance, and dramatic breadth. Set within the intimate atmosphere of Les Maisonnettes in Gargenville—the former home of Nadia and Lili Boulanger, now a place of memory and culture—the concert resonates with particular meaning: acquired by the town to preserve and share this legacy, the house still bears the imprint of a living musical history and has welcomed many great figures over time. Awarded the “Maison des Illustres” label, this singular venue now hosts concerts and cultural events, continuing the spirit of transmission that has long animated its walls.

Role of Diana / Second Priestess

Exiled in Tauris, the priestess Iphigenia is forced to submit to King Thoas, who, terrified by a dream, compels her to sacrifice any stranger who sets foot on the shore. When two Greek warriors are shipwrecked, she is overcome by a strange feeling at the sight of one of them…

In 1774, the year of the coronation of Louis XVI, Gluck settled in Paris, to the great delight of his former pupil, Marie Antoinette. The Académie Royale de Musique was eager to embrace his reformist approach to opera. His French works were met with tremendous success, culminating in the triumph of Iphigénie en Tauride, his final and greatest masterpiece.

After Gluck’s and Lully’s Armide and Cherubini’s Médée, Louis Langrée continues at the Opéra-Comique his exploration of the great tragédies lyriques. Leading one of his favorite scores, he shares the baton with Théotime Langlois de Swarte and brings together Tamara Bounazou, Theo Hoffman, Philippe Talbot, Jean-Fernand Setti, and the choir Les éléments. Wajdi Mouawad directs this poignant drama.

Tragédie lyrique in four acts | Libretto by Nicolas-François Guillard | Premiered at the Académie Royale de Musique (Paris) on 18 May 1779. New production.

Médiathèque Centrale Émile Zola - Montpellier

Saturday, July 12th, 2025 - 2pm

TRANSMISSION AT THE HEART OF THE RADIO FRANCE FESTIVAL PROJECT

A masterclass? A special moment shared between young professionals and established artists—masters, in the truest and finest sense of the word. Behind the term masterclass lie these exceptional encounters whose purpose is to pass on knowledge, inspire, and encourage the next generation.

Born in Béziers, Marianne Crebassa began studying piano at the École de musique in Agde and at the Conservatoire of Sète, before turning to vocal training at the Conservatoire of Montpellier, where she also studied musicology. Spotted by René Koering, she performed rare works such as Fedra by Pizzetti and Zaira by Bellini as part of the Radio France and Montpellier Festival, where she is a frequent guest.

Since then, she has appeared in a wide repertoire ranging from Dorabella (Così fan tutte) to Mélisande and Angelina (La Cenerentola), from Fantasio to Marguerite in La Damnation de Faust, not to mention contemporary music: she created the role of Charlotte Kann in Charlotte Salomon by Marc-André Dalbavie at the Salzburg Festival.

Marianne Crebassa recently recorded Séguédilles (Mompou, Falla, Bizet…) with the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse conducted by Ben Glassberg, and, together with pianist Fazıl Say, an album entitled Secrets (Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Duparc), which also includes a ballad composed by Fazıl Say.

L'Ile de Merlin ou le Monde Renversé

Théâtre National de l'Opéra Comique

24th, 26th, 28th, June 2025

A magical and philosophical tale, L’Île de Merlin or The World Turned Upside Down is a one-act opéra-comique composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck and premiered in Vienna in 1758. The libretto, in French, is a version revised in 1753 by Louis Anseaume of the comedy interwoven with vaudevilles Le Monde renversé, originally created by Lesage and d’Orneval at the Opéra-Comique, Foire Saint-Laurent, in 1718.

Myriam Marzouki’s staging embraces play in all its forms: romantic rivalry and games of seduction, the atmosphere of a casino with dice games... For the duration of this delightfully whimsical performance, the Bizet Hall is transformed into a 1930s café. Like a nod to Tex Avery’s zany cartoons, absurdity and humor engage in dialogue with political critique and social satire.

The modernization of the dialogues by Sébastien Lepotvin for this 2025 production, and the musical updates by Guillemette Daboval and Sammy El Ghadab (artists from the Académie), preserve the rhythm and spirit of the original work, which combines lightheartedness with philosophical depth.

SILVANIUM, Symphonic Images of the Forest
• Festival Premiere •
A musical and poetic journey
Poems and music by Christophe GUYARD

"Silvanium" invites us on
a lyrical and instrumental journey immersed in our
forests. Through the texts and music of this secular
oratorio, composer Christophe Guyard pays tribute
to this marvelous nature and expresses our eternal
gratitude to it. Chamber orchestra, mezzo-soprano, narrator
and percussion will take turns voicing the inspired landscapes
or the beings inhabiting the forest, in an atmosphere
where classical writing intertwines with modernity.
