Young soprano Sophie Naubert is known for her musicality, sensitivity and enthusiasm. At the age of 23, she made her debut as a soloist with the Orchestre Métropolitain under the direction of Yannick Nézet-Séguin and with the Arion Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Mathieu Lussier. She is also featured along with other singers in a recording of Massenet’s complete mélodies on the ATMA Classique label.

Having completed her bachelor’s degree at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal under Aline Kutan in May 2021, recently she began a master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eislerin Berlin under the tutelage of Anna Samuil. Sophie has already won several prizes and bursaries, including bursaries awarded by Jeunesses Musicales Canada, RBC Prestige, the Opéra Bouffe du Québec.
