Marie Perbost
Soprano Marie Perbost has a varied operatic repertory stretching from Mozart to contemporary music. She is a member and the artistic director of Ensemble 101, a group devoted to contemporary music. Perbost has recorded for various labels, including Harmonia Mundi, Evidence, and the historical performance imprint Château de Versailles. She moved to La Boîte à Pépites in 2024 for the album Rita Strohl, Vol. 3: Musique orchestrale.
Perbost was born in Paris in 1989. Her mother sang, and her father was a wind instrument instructor. She received music lessons early, starting on the cello at age four. At nine, Perbost joined the prestigious Maîtrise de Radio France choir training group, performing under such prestigious conductors as Myung-Whun Chung and Kurt Masur. She attended the Sorbonne in Paris, first earning a degree in art history and archeology, and then another in musicology. But musical performance proved a stronger impulse, and she entered the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP) for a master's degree in that field. Her teachers there were Alain Buet, Cécile de Boever, and pianist Anne Le Bozec. Perbost made her operatic debut in 2013 as Blanche de la Force in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites at Paris' Paul Dukas Conservatory. She got major publicity boosts with Revelation Awards from the French performers' rights organization ADAMI in 2016 and from the Victoires de la Musique awards two years later. Her recording debut came on Harmonia Mundi in 2019, in its new Harmonia Nova series, with the album Un Jeunesse à Paris; the album's program was related to Perbost's upbringing in Paris.
Perbost's career as a soloist has taken her to Notre Dame Cathedral (in a performance of Bach's St. John Passion, BWV 245), the Royal Chapel at Versailles, and the Philharmonie de Paris, among other prestigious venues. Her operatic repertory includes several Mozart operas, Beethoven's Fidelio (as Marcelline), and Albert Roussel's Le testament de Tante Caroline (1936). Her performing interests extend into the contemporary era; she formed Ensemble 101, a collective that creates and performs new works, with two other singers. Perbost sang on the Harmonia Mundi album An Unexpected Mozart in 2022 and moved to Château de Versailles in 2023; she was the principal vocalist on the album Dis-Moi Vénus...: L'Amour sous Louis XV. She returned in 2024 on the La Boîte à Pépites label as one of several sopranos heard in orchestral songs on Rita Strohl, Vol. 3: Musique orchestrale.
