Margot Genet

After having been a member of the Opera Studio of the Opéra de Lyon, where she sang, among others, the Fire, the Princess and the Nightingale in L’Enfant et les Sortilèges, and of the Académie Jaroussky, Margot Genet is now part of the Opernstudio NRW (cooperation of the opera houses of Dortmund, Essen, Gelsenkirchen and Wuppertal). Originally from Limoges, she started playing the cello before studying opera at the Haute école de musique in Geneva and then at the UdK (Berlin University of the Arts) in Berlin. She has taken part in masterclasses with Hedwig Fassbender, Elène Golgevit and Ludovic Tézier. Margot is a laureate of the Royaumont Foundation, where she will appear in Handel’s Agrippina (Poppea) in 2021. She sang Poussette in Manon in concert at the Opéra de Lyon and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, and was awarded the ‘Malvina and Denise Menda’ grant by the Opéra Comique. Since 2016, the duo she forms with pianist Justine Eckhaut has been performing throughout Europe.
