Margaux Loire is a lyric soprano and winner of the Présence Compositrices and Théatre Meiningen prizes at the Marmande 2024 international singing competition. She performs in France, Ireland, England, Austria, and Germany. Through her voice and her writings, she proposes a work of creation, research and mediation around the question of the representation of the female body on stage. To support her early career and her research, Margaux has been awarded two grants of excellence: the Menda - Opéra Comique scholarship and the Sylff - Tokyo Foundation for policy research scholarship. Margaux obtained her master's degree in opera singing with first class honours in June 2024 from the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (CnsmdP).
Margaux took her first musical steps in the choir of the prestigious Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris. After a gap year in Scotland, in 2014 she began her soloist studies at the Département supérieur pour Jeune chanteur at the CRR in Paris. A graduate of the Maurice Ravel Conservatoire, she is passionate about cultivating her identity as an actress-creator. She is part of the Création en cours #5 of the Ateliers Médicis and works with a class of CM in the Sarthe, passionately developing the subjects of mediation and transmission. In November 2022, she will be part of the European tour Open your eyes, an ecological recital created by Iain Burnside, encouraged by Anne Le Bozec. At the National Archives in Paris, she sang Poulenc's La Voix humaine with Robin Le Brevet (piano) in 2023. She is Marceline (The Marriage of Figaro) then Berta (The Barber of Seville) with the conductor Mathieu Herzog and his Appassionnato orchestra in April 2024 and again in November 2024. In March 2025, Margaux made her debut in the role of Violetta Valery in Verdi's La Traviata with the Lab Opéra Oise. The soprano Véronique Gens offered her a mentorship at the École normale de musique de Paris in the Elite Programme for the year 2024/2025. She is a laureate of the Abbaye de Royaumont's Académie Voix Nouvelles 2025. She directed the feature film La Voix humaine and the music video Chair Vive. For the 2025/2026 season, she will be performing in a 36-date French tour of Aurelia Ivan's latest creation: AUTO.
