Innocently posed, this question was the beginning of the passion that now governs the life of lyric soprano Margaux Loire. And from this deep and unshakeable desire was born the path, first sketched out in the choir of the prestigious Maîtrise Notre-Dame. At the age of 11, under the vaults of the Cathedral, the pillars of her artistic foundations were laid, for five years nourished by fundamental teaching.

Trained as a chamber musician, chorister and soloist, Margaux was keen to explore all the nuances of the profession. Driven by a desire to learn foreign languages, she flew to Edinburgh, in central Scotland, and sang for a year with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra choir.

In 2014, she began her soloist studies at the Département Supérieur pour Jeunes Chanteurs at the CRR in Paris. There she made a decisive encounter with her singing teacher Mélanie Jackson. Alongside Dame Felicity Lott, she worked on F. Poulenc's La Voix humaine. On the strength of these experiences, a love of the stage, which was already budding, blossomed in Margaux and led her to discover the theatre.

In 2016, she was accepted into François Clavier's drama class at the Maurice Ravel Conservatoire. There she cultivates her identity as a creative-actress, sculpting her characters and falling under the spell of this art form. She was lucky enough to work with two teachers of stage presence: Alexandre Del Perugia and Coco Felgeirolles. Margaux is developing her artistic vision by working as part of a collective, combining a connection to sensations with an intimate address to the audience.

In July 2019, she made her debut at the Avignon Festival, in the lyrical show Les Princesses et la Lune, designed to introduce children and over to the art of opera. She will repeat the experience at the Avignon Off Festival in July 2022. She is a member of Création en cours #5 of the Ateliers Médicis with Amélie Charbonnier and Leslie Gruel, and works with a class of CM in the Sarthe, passionately developing the subjects of mediation and transmission.

In 2020, she formed a duo with pianist Joseph Birnbaum, giving them the chance to learn the art of recital from some of the greats: Anne Le Bozec, Susan Manoff, Philippe Biros, Jeff Cohen.

Since 2020, she has been co-artistic director of Collectif DONNE, a collective of committed artists with whom she develops a poetic language that informs each of their performances.

Selected for masterclasses with Barbara Hannigan, Inva Mula, Sandrine Piau, Jasmine Roy, Véronique Gens, Margreet Honig, Margaux consolidates her love for her craft.

Since 2018, Margaux has been working with the theorbist Kseniya Illicheva Garcia. They are planning to record a CD featuring female composers from the 17th century to the present day. Since 2022, she has formed a trio with clarinettist Mélanie Haas and pianist Flore-Elise Capelier. The trio's first show is Le Journal de Clara, a journey through the life of Clara Schumann.

With a background ranging from Gregorian to contemporary, including opera and chamber music, Margaux completed her studies at the CNSMDP in Valérie Guillorit's class after obtaining her master's degree named Madone et Putain, with distinction, in June 2024.

She was Pamina in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte in July 2022. At the beginning of November 2022, she took part in the European tour Open your eyes, an ecological recital created by Iain Burnside involving artists of seven different nationalities. In April 2022 and 2023, Jean Lacornerie directed her at the Châtelet Musical Club. Still in the musical comedy register, she sang live on the 42ème rue programme. She directed and starred in the short film La Voix humaine by Francis Poulenc and Jean Cocteau, to be released in March 2025. She is the squirrel, the cat and the shepherdess in L'Enfant et les Sortilèges by Maurice Ravel and Colette in March 2024. She is Rusalka in the eponymous opera by Anton Dvořák in June 2024. She is an improviser singer in the next creation AUTO by the director Aurélia Ivan and the Tsara company for the 2025/2026 season. She will be Violetta in Verdi's La Traviata in March 2025 with the Lab Opéra Oise, directed by Renaud Boutin and musical director Juliette Sabbah.

Through her voice and her writing, she proposes creative works, research and mediation around the question of the representation of the female body on stage. This research, supported by lyrical musical creation, focuses on the metamorphosis of the human being through lyrical song. Margaux Loire, lyric soprano, is the winner of the Présence Compositrices and Théatre Meiningen prizes at the Marmande 2024 international singing competition. She is supported by the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research, the Opéra Comique, Véronique Gens and the École normale de musique de Paris.
