Biography
Jeanine De Bique has been described as „one of the most exciting sopranos to catch onstage these days. Animated, joyful, and technically flawless, the Trinidadian vocalist with the light, starry voice that soars before landing on audiences’ ears like a musical meteor shower“ (Operawire) and a “sheer endless wealth of colour and nuances[…] a radiant, free-floating timbre.” (Opernwelt).

Highlights in 2023-24 include her return to Opéra de Paris for the debut in the title role of Massenet’s Cendrillon, her house debut as Donna Anna/Don Giovanni at Staatsoper Berlin and Micaëla/Carmen at Gran Teatre de Liceu Barcelona. In concert, she will present a new programme with Baroque arias and Caribbean folk songs with Holland Baroque on tour throughout the Netherlands, give solo recitals in the US and perform with The English Concert, Philadelphia Orchestra, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Netherlands Philharmonic, B’Rock, Kammerorchester Basel and Gürzenich Orchester.
