Early life and trainingedit
Devieilhe was born in Ifs, near Caen, France, on 12 December 1985 into a non-musician family – her parents work in special education, although her older sister teaches singing and violin.[4]
She began her musical apprenticeship at the Ifs school of music before entering the Caen Conservatory [fr] at the age of twelve in order to study the cello.[5] Influenced successively by conductor Valérie Fayet, and singing teachers Jocelyne Chamonin (Caen Conservatory), Martine Surais (Rennes Conservatory [fr]), Pierre Mervant, Malcolm Walker and Elène Golgevit[6] (Conservatoire de Paris), she became a lyrical singer.[7]
Recognised by Jean-Claude Malgoire, Devieilhe debuted as a soloist with the Atelier Lyrique de Tourcoing in October 2011, singing Amina in Bellini's La sonnambula.[7]
In 2014, she sang in Lakmé by Léo Delibes at the Opéra-Comique.[21] She made her debut with the Paris Opera portraying the Queen of the Night at the Opéra Bastille in performances in March.[22]
On 11 April 2016, together with the Orchestre de chambre de Paris conducted by Christopher Franklin and the choir Les Cris de Paris,[23] she performed in a concert version of La sonnambula at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.[24][25]
In September 2017, she made her debut at the Royal Opera, London in the role of the Queen of the Night.[26]
In January 2019, Devieilhe made her Carnegie Hall debut at Weill Recital Hall, singing a program of French songs by Debussy and his circle.[27]
