Noémie Bousquet

Aveyron-born soprano Noémie Bousquet first trained as a cellist from a very young age. She then turned to classical singing and studied at the conservatories of Toulouse and Rueil-Malmaison. She continued her studies in Germany at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg, where she earned a triple Bachelor’s degree in opera, oratorio, and music education, followed by a Master’s degree in opera under Mareike Morr and Katharina Kutsch.

Noémie Bousquet has taken part in several masterclasses with renowned artists and teachers, including Diana Damrau, Felicity Lott, Véronique Gens, Patricia Petibon, and Regina Werner, all of whom helped shape her artistic personality.

In 2021, she won Third Prize at the International Young Singers Competition of Nîmes and was a finalist in several international competitions.

Noémie Bousquet made her debut at the Freiburg Opera in 2023, performing the role of Dawn in Nico Muhly’s opera Marnie. The following year, she appeared in the title role of Didone by Piccinni with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin as part of the summer festival of Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg. In 2025, she was selected for the Académie Ravel, within the framework of the Festival Ravel, chaired by Bertrand Chamayou.

Passionate about chamber music, Noémie Bousquet performs regularly with Ensemble Hédoné, directed by Godeleine Catalan, as well as with pianist Noémie Berz as part of the Duo ||:Noémie:||. Together, they explore the German Lied and the French mélodie, and recently created Ivresses de la lune, a Franco-German recital dedicated to the repertoire of Romantic and Impressionist women composers.
