• Getting your portrait taken @studioharcourtparis is quite the experience šŸ˜³ I know this is one of the the things people see as Ā«Ā more glamorousĀ Ā» in our jobs - putting on the big dress, getting your hair and makeup done - but let me tell you, when youā€™re not so good at the whole self-acceptance thing, like yours truly, photo shoots are *nerve-racking*!! šŸ˜–šŸ˜–šŸ˜– And when youā€™re told youā€™re going to go to the sacro-saint of portrait studios, the fear gets real... @studioharcourt was founded in 1934 and has kept a savoir-faire and the codes that have made its reputation : mastery of cinematic light and light-dark, use of Black & White, a nod to the cinema of the 1920s. The Ā«Ā Prestige PortraitĀ Ā» is the one of the greatest and immortalizes the celebrities of all time. Weā€™ve all seen Harcourtā€™s photos of Ingrid Bergman, Marlene Dietrich, Edith Piaf, HeĢleĢ€ne Bouvier, Louis Jourdan, Salvador DaliĢ, Karl Lagerfeld, John Malkovich, John Galliano and Edith Piaf (to only name a few). So I was ner-vous, Guys! Thankfully, the whole team at Harcourt is amazing and knows how to make you feel welcome and put you at ease ā˜ŗļø I feel so blessed that I could have such an incredible and iconic experience in my life and career ! This experience was made possible through the beautiful partnership between @musiquesenfete and @studioharcourt - so I guess Iā€™m kind of sneaking in here that Iā€™ll be part of Musiques en FeĢ‚te ! 10th anniversary, ey ? šŸ˜‰ So thank you to them for their generosity ! šŸ™ . šŸ„° The dress is a beautiful creation by the amazing @brunofatalot , the makeup is courtesy of @studioharcourtparis and my hair looks itā€™s best thanks to the tender care of Cassandre @marcapar_france šŸ„° . #photography #photoshoot #portraitphotography #portrait #newexperiences #singer #operasingersofinstagram #opera #lights #centerstage #shooting #pictureoftheday #pictureperfect #music #musician #classicalmusic #classical #operasinger #scared #thepressure #blessed @france3 @francemusique

  • THE SECRET PROJECT IS A GO!! I REAPEAT : THE SECRET PROJECT IS A GO!! šŸŽ‰šŸ‘ Okay, okay. Letā€™s go back to a year ago, when I started teasing a secret project, that had some steam šŸ’Ø , with a lot of excitement.

Stay tuned for updates šŸ˜‰ Itā€™s going to squeeze the projectā€™s schedule to its limit, but the team is a-MAZ-ables, and Iā€™m sure weā€™ll see it through! šŸ’ŖšŸ¤ž And working non stop to save this project is one of the main reasons I havenā€™t been posting all that much on Social Medias of lateā€¦ Sorry about that Guys! šŸ™ And thank you for all the kind messages!

  • Hey Guys ^.^, And so weā€™re allowed to go out without filling those forms anymore... itā€™s great ! But life isnā€™t back to normal yet!

  • And so I am working on a fun project - or at least it makes *me* laugh šŸ˜… hopefully youā€™ll like it, too... But it takes some tinkering with my editing software - my nemesis šŸ¤Ŗ - hopefully, it will be ready soon. Until then, here is another memory from @queenelisabethcompetition (from the second round, accompanied by the extraordinary david zobel šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°) It feels very topical... because just like Isabella, we need to find our strength, our courage and our wit to get back to what we love. Stay positive and just pull all of our tricks from our bags to help culture (and us!) survive this crisis. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Stay home. ā¤ļø Cyber-hugs everyone #singer #operasinger #rossini #staypositive #competition #opera #dontstopthemusic #musiciansathome #artistsunderquarantine #stayhome #livefromhome

  • Hey Guys, Here is a special one because itā€™s with my vocal coach of many years šŸ„° In these times of worry and confusion, everyone is trying to predict, anticipate, solution the situation and its development... But the truth is, we donā€™t know, and itā€™s hard! Itā€™s so easy to feel depressed and helpless... So in these moments of doubt, itā€™s nice to have people to steady ourselves. And for many years now, since my studies at @cnsmdlyon , my teachers, @germain1963 and @fabrice_boulanger , have been there for me, helping me, focusing me and always finding time in their busy schedule to fit in an emergency session to prepare that last minute project or review one last time that role debut that stresses me so! (#trustory !) I wouldnā€™t be half the singer, half the *person* that I am, if it werenā€™t for them. So thank you to you both šŸ„°šŸ„° And for your enjoyment today (and maybe resentment from some of our gentlemen listeners šŸ˜…), @fabrice_boulanger and I present Elleā€™s aria from Lā€™Amour masquĆ© by AndrĆ© Messager on a text by Sasha Guitry. Itā€™s all in good fun people! And Iā€™m not the one who wrote it šŸ˜› Stay healthy, stay safe, stay considerate of others, stay home. Cyber-hugs everyone PS a special dedication to @nazan_fikret_queenan who gave me that little blue number years ago šŸ„°thanks luv #dontstopthemusic #musiciansathome #artistsunderquarantine #stayhome #livefromhome #mezzosoprano #singer #opera #operaathome #classicalmusic #cheeky #cheekylyrics

  • Well... canā€™t sleep again... what a shocker! šŸ˜‚ but tonight I decided to be a productive #insomniac šŸ˜‰ . and so I fished a couple of accessories from my #steampunk bag and played with my phone a bit . šŸ§ hmm, okay. Iā€™m a bit frustrated because my main lamp in the flat is a yellowish color... so I had to color correct a lot to make it nice... I did play around Lightroom a bit šŸ¤” do you have a preference? Which picture is the best? (You can read Ā«Ā sucks lessĀ Ā» there šŸ˜…) . I must admit that a few years back, I wouldnā€™t even have had the confidence to attempts taking pictures by myself, let alone *share* them šŸ˜± but, little by little, I try to gain more confidence šŸ’Ŗ .
