About

Agathe Labadie is a young French soprano with an agile voice and sparkling personality. She interprets a varied repertoire giving pride of place to contemporary music, and is passionate about creation work with composers of our time. This season, Agathe will perform on several occasions as a soloist of the Ensemble NEXT, in Paris, Sault and Siena.

Agathe has lately created the title role in Motorized Delusion at the Dutch National Opera, as part of the Opera Forward Festival. She also interpreted the role of Pamina in Mozart’s Zauberflöte at the Musica Le Mans Festival. Her other roles include Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Amore in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, Belinda in Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Cupidon in Offenbach’s Orphée aux Enfers.

In concert, Agathe has performed at the International Lied Festival in Zeist, at the TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht and at the Muziekgebouw Amsterdam. She nourishes her inspiration by taking masterclasses with renowned artists and pedagogues, among whom Patricia Petibon, Magreet Honig, Chantal Santon-Jeffery, Amaya Dominguez, Regina Werner or Valérie Philippin.

Agathe’s interest for vocal music started at the Dijon Cathedral Choir, where she sang during her childhood. She then obtained her Musical Studies Diploma at the Paris CRR in 2021. At the Amsterdam Conservatoire, she studied with Sasja Hunnego and obtained her Bachelor’s in 2024 and Master’s in 2026. She is currently honing her skills in contemporary music by following an Artist Diploma at the CNSM in Paris, within the Ensemble NEXT.

Gladly coming back to her origins, Agathe was a chorister at the Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where she sang Sous le ciel de Paris in Zaho de Sagazan’s performance. She collaborates regularly with the Ensemble Matheus and the Consort Musica Vera.

Keen on understanding the current issues of the musical industry and building the future of live performing arts, Agathe graduated from a Master’s degree in Cultural Policy from Sciences Po Paris in 2018. When she is not singing, Agathe likes learning languages, growing aromatic plants and spending time in nature.
