Zoé Brocard

After training as a flutist, the young French soprano Zoé Brocard received her Diplome Études Musicales for singing at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris, where she performed in opera projects as Rosina (»Il barbiere di Siviglia«) and Sesto (»Giulio Cesare in Egitto«), among others. She also studied singing with Brigitte Geller at the Nuremberg University of Music until 2021. Tobias Truniger, Marcello Amaral, Susanna Klovsky and Talia Or as well as a master class with Brigitte Fassbaender provided important impulses. As part of her training, she impersonated Comacho (»Don Quichotte auf der Hochzeit des Comacho«) and was engaged as Rossane (»Alessandro«) at the E.T.A. Hoffmann Theatre in Bamberg and as the Second Boy (»Die Zauberflöte«) at the Nuremberg State Theatre. Concert appearances have taken the lyric soprano as a soloist with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra to Nuremberg’s Meistersingerhalle, Nuremberg’s Serenadenhof, Munich’s Philharmonie am Gasteig and Amberg’s Stadttheater, among others.

 

In 2019‒2022 Zoé Brocard was a member of the Munich Bach Choir, with whom she interpreted Bach works such as »Christmas Oratorio« and »St. John Passion« but also contemporary works such as David Lang’s »Little Match Girl Passion« in concert halls such as the Munich Residenz and the Gasteig. In addition, she founded the ensemble Vagabondes with six other artists, with whom she organised a concert series on the album »Caméléon« in 2022, and performed her solo programme »Portraits« about various female figures at various festivals.

 

Since 2022 Zoé Brocard has been a member of the chorus of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz, where she also takes on solo roles, including as the Dew and Sandman in »Hänsel and Gretel« and as the Page in »Rigoletto«.
