BIOGRAPHY
Born in Saguenay, Québec, Canadian coloratura soprano Marie-Eve Munger enjoys a flourishing career in both North America and Europe. She has earned a global reputation for her “warm, lyrical" (The Associated Press) voice "with glassy-clear coloratura" (The New York Times) as well as her strong stage presence which “stole the show,” according to The Washington Post.
In a career spanning both sides of the Atlantic, she has sung at houses such as La Scala, Teatro Liceu, La Monnaie, Opéra-Comique, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Opéra de Nantes, Opéra de Marseille; Lyric Opera of Chicago, Minnesota Opera and Opéra de Montréal.
Her repertoire includes roles such as Juliette, Ophélie, Gilda, Zerbinetta, Lakmé, and La Fée in Cendrillon. In praise of Ms. Munger’s Ophélie, Opéra Today wrote, “Her death scene summoned tears as she dispatched her full high notes with beautiful suppleness, negotiating without flaw the many roulades and chromatic scales.” On the concert stage, she has performed with the Chicago Symphony, Bavarian Radio Orchestra in Munich, the Montréal Symphony, and performs regularly in recital.
