About the Artist
Juliette Tacchino
Described by Le Devoir as “an outstanding actress with impeccable projection and style,” soprano Juliette Tacchino is distinguished by her artistic refinement and captivating stage presence. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2024 Sumi Jo International Singing Competition and laureate of the 2024 French Riviera Masters Competition at the Opéra de Nice Côte d’Azur, she is rapidly establishing a flourishing international career.
This season, Juliette will perform the role of Delphine Garnier in Les Demoiselles de Rochefort at the prestigious Théâtre Lido 2 Paris and will embark on a U.S. tour featuring solo recitals and chamber music concerts.
During the 2024–2025 season, she appeared in Paris with Opéra Fuoco under the guidance of David Stern, collaborating with Laurent Naouri and Elsa Rooke in operatic scenes by Jules Massenet. She also gave a recital at the Château d’Écouen near Paris and performed as the soprano soloist in William Boyce’s Solomon at the Opéra de Massy. That same season, she made role debuts as Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) under Nicholas McGegan, and in Candide conducted by David Charles Abell with the Curtis Opera Theatre. She also performed Claude Vivier’s Lonely Child with the Curtis Symphony Orchestra. Juliette made her debut at the Chorégies d’Orange, one of Europe’s most prestigious opera festivals and joined world-renowned soprano Sumi Jo on tour in China and South Korea.
Highlights from recent seasons include concert performances as Mélisande (Pelléas et Mélisande) and Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier) with the Curtis Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, as well as staged appearances in the roles of Ginevra (Ariodante), Thérèse (Les Mamelles de Tirésias), the Vixen (The Cunning Little Vixen), and as a soloist in a production of Handel’s L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. On the concert stage, she has appeared as soprano soloist in Mozart’s Requiem with the Binghamton Philharmonic, Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with the Orchestre de l’Université de Montréal, and Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Dettingen Te Deum with the Monte-Carlo Chamber Orchestra.
Born into a family of musicians, Juliette began her vocal journey with the Children’s Chorus of the Opéra de Nice. During her studies, she performed the roles of Ilia (Idomeneo), Pauline (La Vie Parisienne), Phani (Les Indes Galantes), a nymph (The Fairy Queen), and appeared as soloist in a contemporary work by Canadian composer Ana Sokolović. She is a two-time First Prize winner at the Concours d’Opéra Bouffe de Québec (2020, 2022), and a recipient of the Louise Roy Scholarship, the Azrieli Foundation Grant, and the 2026 Laureate distinction from the Cercle Richard Wagner Rive Droite.
Juliette holds a Master of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music and a Bachelor of Music from the Université de Montréal.
