Few artists combine vocal opulence, dramatic intensity, and technical command as completely as Aude Extrémo.

Building a considerable reputation across the dramatic mezzo operatic repertory from Verdi to Wagner, and increasingly sought-after for Mahler’s concert works, Aude continues to captivate with her immense vocal power, expressive nuance, and magnetic stage presence. Aude opens the next season in Opera de Paris’ Ring Cycle, directed by Calixto Bieito and conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado. Experience her live, and discover a selection of this season’s press below:

​“Aude Extrémo imposes a fascinating vocal presence: opulence of timbre, rich low notes, and magnetic legato combine in an almost poisonous sensuality.” — Anaclase

​“Her voice is immense, opulent, and earthy… with tones of bronze and velvet… it is a sumptuous instrument.” 
- Forum Opéra

​“Her debut was a true masterstroke… The depth of her low notes and the shimmering nuances of her timbre are undiminished by the agility required to channel her enormous voice; her recitatives are sublime, her variations splendid and daring, and her breath control almost never falters.” — Forum Opéra, Orlando
