BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Normandy, Sabine Devieilhe first studied cello and musicology before pursuing her vocal studies at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris. Soon after graduating, she was invited to the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence to sing Serpetta in Mozart’s La finta giardiniera, to Montpellier for the title role in Léo Delibes’ Lakmé and to Lyon for her debut as Queen of the Night in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. She was named “Révélation Artiste Lyrique” at the 20th edition of the Victoires de la Musique in 2013.
Since then she has been a regular name in Europe’s leading opera houses including the Opéra national de Paris, Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Opéra Comique, La Monnaie in Brussels, the Opernhaus Zürich, Vienna State Opera, Milan’s La Scala, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Glyndebourne Festival and the Salzburg Festival.
Sabine Devieilhe celebrated her most recent successes as Morgana in Handel’s Alcina at the Opéra de Paris, as Ophélie in Thomas' Hamlet at the Opéra Comique, as Cleopatra in Handel’s Giulio Cesare at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, and Ilia in Mozart’s Idomeneo at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Her 2022/2023 season featured an acclaimed new production of Délibe's Lakmé at the Opéra, together with her Metropolitan Opera debut in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmelites (Soeur Constance), and productions of Les Mamelles de Tirésias and Stravinsky's Le Rossignol at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées. Further appearances have since included Susanna in Mozart's Nozze di Figaro at the Salzburg Festival in summer 2023 and Mélisande in a new production of Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande at the Bavarian State Opera in summer 2024. In the 2024-2025 season, Sabine Devieilhe appeared as Sophie in Strauss's Rosenkavalier at La Scala in Milan and as Mélisande at the Opéra national de Paris. Later that season she returned to the Vienna State Opera as Sophie and as Zdenka (Arabella).
In summer 2025, Sabine Devieilhe returned to the Salzburg Festival both in recital and for a semi-staged Mozart concert entitled ‘Zaide oder der Weg des Lichts’, while in the 2025-2026 season, she can be heard as Dalinda in Handel's Ariodante and as Susanna (Nozze di Figaro) at the Opéra national de Paris. She will make her debut as Lucie in the French version of Donizetti's Lucie de Lammermoore at the Opéra Comique and will tour Europe with Jakub Józef Orliński and the Ensemble Pomo d'Oro in Handel's Giulio Cesare.
Sabine Devieilhe is an equally welcome guest on the international concert stage, whether it be Handel & Bach arias with the Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, or Britten's Les Illuminations with the Bayerische Staatskapelle under Vladimir Jurowski. In autumn 2023, she made her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker singing Mozart arias under the baton of Maxim Emelyanychev and with the Concertgebouw Orchestra under Klaus Mäkelä. Her first collaboration with Sir Simon Rattle in concert performances of Mozart's Idomeneo (Ilia) garnered critical acclaim. In May 2025, she was celebrated alongside Stéphane Degout and the Ensemble Pygmalion in concert performances of Fauré's Requiem and excerpts from Ambrois Thomas' Hamlet. In the coming season, Sabine Devieilhe can once again be heard with the Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, as well as with the Ensemble Correspondances under Sébastien Doucé.
No stranger to the recital stage, Sabine Devieilhe released her new album with songs by Mozart and Strauss in March 2024 - a programme she took with Mathieu Pordoy in 2024 and 2025 to Europe’s most prestigious recital venues. In the 2025-2026 season, the duo takes to the stage in Utrecht, London's Wigmore Hall, the Boulez-Saal in Berlin, the Philharmonie Luxembourg, Compiègne, Lyon, Bordeaux and Strasbourg.
Sabine Devieilhe has been an exclusive artist with Erato/Warner Classics since 2012. Her debut disc of Rameau arias won several awards, including a Diapason d'Or. Her more recent recordings have included a Mozart album The Weber Sisters with Ensemble Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, and her solo album Mirages with Les Siècles under François-Xavier Roth, for which she was awarded two coveted trophies at the 25th edition of the Victoires de la Musique. In September 2020, Erato/Warner Classics released an imaginatively balanced recital in which Sabine Devieilhe and pianist Alexandre Tharaud interpret songs by Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Poulenc. The following year, the label released an exquisite Handel-Bach album featuring Sabine Devieilhe, Ensemble Pygmalion, and Raphaël Pichon that garnered critical acclaim among audiences and the press.
