Saluted for her rich and refined voice, the mezzo-soprano Florence Bourget from Lévis obtained her master’s degree at the University of Montreal and then took part in the Atelier lyrique of the Opéra de Montréal.

She has performed on the stages of several opera houses in roles such as Prince Charming in Massenet’s Cendrillon, Isolier in Rossini’s Le Comte Ory, Mercédès in Carmen, Tisbe in Rossini’s La Cenerentola, Mrs. Grose in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, and Angel 2 in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin. Her versatility is expressed as much in baroque music as in chamber and Orchestral Music, leading her to collaborate with prestigious organizations such as the Orchestre Métropolitain, the Symphony Orchestras of Montreal, Mâcon (France), Quebec, Laval, and many others, as well as with the Ensemble
Contemporain de Montréal, the Orchestre de l’Agora, the Classica Festival, the Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Ensemble Caprice, the Arion Baroque Orchestra, and many others.

She frequently puts her voice at the service of artistic creations such as the Albertine en Cinq Temps taken from the text by Michel Tremblay set to music by Catherine Major. In 2024, she stood out in the role of Isolier in Comte Ory at the Opéra de Québec: “In the role of the Countess’s graceful but love-sick page Isolier, Montreal mezzo-soprano Florence Bourget is a great revelation. She was visually convincing and natural, making us forget at times that she was a woman playing a “trouser” role, and she carved out a place for herself in this cast with her well-balanced and always refined voice..” Opera Canada (Oct. 30 2024).
