International Soprano Solen Mainguené Sings At Home During Lockdown - #bvoftogetherathome

BVOF Together at Home – In this poignant clip, International soprano Solen Mainguené, who was due to take up the roles of ‘Lauretta’ and ‘Nedda’ in Gianni Schicchi/Pagliacci for the BVOF in 2020, sings at her home during the Coronavirus Lockdown.

International lyric soprano Solen Mainguené is an emerging talent from Orange in Provence, south of France. Described by German Opernnwelt Magazine as a cross between Scarlett Johansson and a young Anna Netrebko, she is praised equally for her singing and acting skills, and delights the audiences with a full interpretation, often the result of a profound connection with some of the best directors and conductors of our generation.

​Solen started her undergraduate training in cello and voice at the age of 15 at the "Conservatoire de Rennes" in France. She then undertook a Bachelor at the "Peabody Conservatory" of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, U.S.A, shortly followed by a Master from the Opernklasse at the "Universität Mozarteum" in Salzburg, Austria. Her teachers include: Stanley Cornett, Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Boris Bakow, Alessandro Misciasci, Cheryl Studer, John Shirley-Quirk and Neil Semer.
​In 2012, the soprano became a member of the prestigious Opera Studio of the Hamburg State Opera and since then appears regularly as a guest. Whilst in Hamburg, Solen performed numerous roles, amongst others: MUSETTA in "La Bohème", FIRST LADY in "Die Zauberflöte" or again MICAELA in "Carmen". She covered numerous leading sopranos including Anita Hartig, Ailyn Perez, Nino Machaidze or Tatiana Lisnic.
Our sense of community at Blackwater Valley Opera Festival is stronger than ever and we are already planning and looking forward to presenting our opera double bill Gianni Schicchi & Pagliacci and the world premiere of Maudlin Of Paplewick as part of our summer Festival from 1 – 7 June 2021.

We are very proud of our artists and their incredible talents and we wanted to find a way to connect you with them in these difficult times as they isolate at home in Ireland and all over the world. They have begun working virtually to share with you some performances and short videos - their way of bringing BVOF to you in your homes.

We are delighted to share these new virtual compilations as #bvoftogetherahome and please feel free to share #bvoftogetherathome and don't forget to follow us on our social media platforms.
