Eva Zaïcik

Young mezzo-soprano Eva Zaïcik – one of the most renowned opera singers of her generation - carry off the « Revelation Opera Singers » award at the « Victoires de la Musique Classique », as well as prizes in two prestigious international competitions: in the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium; and the “Voix Nouvelles” competition. Her golden timbre, impressive range and stage presence had already earned her a place on the 8th session of William Christie's Jardin des Voix with Les Arts Florissants, and other roles followed rapidly: the title role in Dido and Aeneas; La Messaggiera in Monteverdi's Orfeo, Lybie in Lully's Phaeton with the Poème Harmonique; and the 3rd Lady in Mozart's Magic Flute with Les Talens Lyriques. She performed both on stage and on the concert platform: recitals with the pianist Romain Louveau and several baroque programs with Justin Taylor and his Consort. She will be appearing in the title role in Carmen at the Théâtre Impérial de Compiègne; Speranza in Monteverdi's Orfeo at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées; and Sélyzette in Dukas' Ariane and Bluebeard at Toulouse's Théâtre du Capitole. Eva Zaïcik's eclecticism and sensitivity both to music and the to cross-cultural dialogue have been the source of encounters with all the forms of expression which the singing voice can offer. The Ensemble Lunaris for three voices and viola da gamba, which she founded with two friends, released its first recording, Exode(s) in 2014.
