Élise Dabrowski
singer, musician

Élise Dabrowski began her career with the Maîtrise de Radio France singing in Olivier Messiaen's Trois petites liturgies de la présence divine and in Mahler's Third Symphony with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa. She has had the opportunity to participate in numerous creations by Thierry Pécou, Édith Lejet, Gérard Condé and Claude Ballif. She was selected by the Centre d'Art Lyrique de la Méditerranée where she perfected her voice. Engaged at the Junger Künstler Festival in Bayreuth to sing Malher's Knaben Wunderhorn, she particularly enjoys the German repertoire. She devotes herself to contemporary creation: La Rhésérection by Jonathan Pontier, Chant d'hiver by Samuel Sighicelli, La Métamorphose by Michaël Lévinas with the ensemble du Balcon directed by Maxime Pascal, Avenida de los Incas by Fernando Fiszbein at the Lille Opera with Le Balcon, Bureau 470 by Tomas Bordalejo, Crumbling Land, Voyage d'hiver by Jelinek and Sébastien Gaxie, Jacob Lenz by Wolfgang Rihm at the Théâtre de l'Athénée Louis Jouvet. In parallel, she leads a career as an instrumentalist (double bass) and singer, crossing the two disciplines in new proposals. She composes and plays on stage in Quelque part au cœur de la forêt (directed by Claude Buchvald, Parcours Jeunesse Théâtre de la Ville)... She is also active on the jazz and improvised music scene alongside artists such as Louis Sclavis, Bruno Chevillon or Joëlle Léandre. In 2018, she is the artistic director of TREPAK, Comment s'en sortir sans sortir, a poetic opera performed at the Théâtre de Vanves, the Théâtre l'Echangeur in Bagnolet and the Scène Nationale l'Hexagone in Meylan.
