About.

French soprano Delphine Mégret has developed a career at the crossroads of opera, early music, recital, and contemporary creation. Her remarkable stylistic versatility enables her to explore a wide range of repertoires, from the Baroque to contemporary music, with a particular sensitivity to the text, the music, and the dramatic life of each work.

In the 2026/27 season, she performs the various female roles in Purcell’s King Arthur at the Sylvanès Festival, conducted by Bernard Tétu with the Orchestre de Chambre de Toulouse, as well as Mozart’s Requiem in a solo version with Les Paladins, conducted by Jérôme Correas. She also continues her work with composer Christophe Guyard, premiering De undis ad Stellam at the Sylvanès Festival and recording the song cycle Le Miroir des Anges with pianist Sophie Raynaud.

In 2027, Delphine Mégret will create Pyrène, l’amour d’Hercule with pianist and composer Yannaël Quenel. This musical production brings together Baroque repertoire, contemporary creation, electro music, and visual art, and will be presented as part of the 50th International Festival of Sylvanès Abbey.

On the opera stage, Delphine Mégret performs roles ranging from the established repertoire to contemporary creations. Her repertoire includes Pamina in Die Zauberflöte (2021), Zerlina in Don Giovanni (2022) at the Pézenas Lyric Festival, and, more recently, Blanche in Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites (2025) at the À Ciel Ouvert Festival.

In 2023, she created the role of La Jeune Fille à l’Âne in Ressusciter la Rose by Raphaël Lucas, with a libretto by Simon Johannin, directed by Vincent Huguet and produced by the Opéra de Toulon.

Concert work is central to Delphine Mégret’s career. Her repertoire ranges from Palestrina, Bach, Vivaldi and Pergolesi to Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Fauré, with regular appearances since 2016 at the International Sacred Music Festival of Sylvanès Abbey and the Vigan Festival. She has performed with ensembles and conductors including Les Paladins and Jérôme Correas, La Fenice and Jean Tubéry, the Orchestre de Chambre de Toulouse, Michel Piquemal and Bernard Tétu. Delphine has also collaborated with Andrea Marcon and the Venice Baroque Orchestra at the Barbican Hall in Vivaldi’s oratorio Juditha Triumphans, and with the Academy of Ancient Music, conducted by Pavlo Beznosiuk, in Biber’s Requiem at the Deal Festival in England.

Recital is another major focus of her work. A regular guest at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, she has developed a series of programmes with Spanish pianist Carmen Martínez-Pierret, exploring rarely brought-together repertoires, particularly those of forgotten women composers, as well as American and British music. Following L’Heure Rose in 2023, acclaimed by the Spanish press as “exquisite, full of beauty and elegance,” and subsequently Nothin’ But Love and Rendez-vous, they continue their collaboration in 2026 with Yours for a Song and the programme Dana Suesse & Gershwin, which they have performed at the Pirineos Classic Festival in Spain.

Contemporary creation has been a defining thread throughout Delphine Mégret’s career, dating back to her years in London. In 2018, she was awarded the Tracey Chadwell Memorial Prize at Wigmore Hall for her performance of Involuta Septempunctata by Dimitrios Rontsis, having previously premiered several song cycles at Wigmore Hall in London, including Rasmus Zwicki’s fly little birdy.

Graduated with unanimous First-Class Distinction from London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Delphine Mégret obtained a Master of Performance (MPerf) and a Bachelor of Music (Bus) with Honours in Vocal Studies, as well as a Concert Recital Diploma (CRD), for which the jury awarded her a special mention in recognition of the excellence of her final Master’s recital.
