Jenny Daviet: More than just singing

In an interview between her spring engagements in Lyon and Montreal, Jenny Daviet surprises us with her unexpected approach to roles and works and reveals her dreams for the future.

She has just appeared on stage as Mireille in Giorgio Battistelli's opera 7 Minuti at the Opéra de Lyon before a semi-staged production of Cosí fan tutte by Thomas Hampson in Montreal. There she appeared as Despina and was once again praised as a Mozart interpreter for her ‘flawless stage presence and a voice that is appropriate and malleable in every situation’ (Le Devoir). What to other classical singers may seem like a wild mix of different engagements has long been part of Jenny Daviet's everyday artistic life and has not only characterised the spring of 2025. From the very beginning of her career, contemporary works have complimented the classical opera roles she sang as a member of the ensemble at the Opéra de Rouen, among others.
