The French mezzo-soprano, Madeleine Bazola-Minori, first trained at at the CRR in Tours, alongside her piano studies, before continuing her choral singing studies with the Conservatoire's Chœur de Jeunes. She sang the role of Flora in Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the screw at the Opéra de Tours in 2014. Since September 2021, she has been studying opera singing at the Paris Conservatoire in Amaya Dominguez's class, and has joined Jeff Cohen's mélodie and lied class as well as Anne le Bozec's class. There she developed her taste for the lyrical repertoire, from Baroque to contemporary and including musical comedy. She also attended master-classes with Jean-Yves Ossonce, Sandrine Piau and Kresimir Spicer.
Madeleine Bazola-Minori cultivates her interest in contemporary music by regularly participating in the creation of works by the Conservatoire's composition class as solo mezzo-soprano, as in Marin Escande's Friends and Strangers under the baton of Julien Leroy. She has performed in a number of opera productions at the CNSMDP, including Strauss's Die Fledermaus (conducted by Lucie Leguay, directed by Nicola Raab), Purcell's Dido & Aeneas (conducted by Leonardo García-Alarcón, directed by Marc Lainé) and Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges (directed by Sandra Pocceschi and Giacomo Strada).
Madeleine Bazola-Minori's love of ensemble music has led her to perform with Ensemble Pygmalion (Director: Raphaël Pichon) and Le Poème Harmonique (Director: Vincent Dumestre), as well as soloists with the Correspondances ensemble (Director: Sébastien Daucé), Choeur de Grenelle (Director: Alix Dumont-Debaecker), Maîtrise de Notre-Dame (Director: Henri Chalet) and the Orchestre et Choeur des Universités de Paris (Directors: Carlos Dourthé and Guillaume Connesson).
Madeleine Bazola-Minori has been represented by RSBA since 2025. She currently lives in Paris, France. |
