SHORT BIO

 

Hailed for his expressive voice, both full and nuanced with brassy highs, tenor Steeve Michaud has a brilliant lyrical career which was recently recognized by the Prix du Jeune Public at the 26th Clermont-Ferrand International Competition in France (2019).

 

A sought-after performer of the Canadian operatic scene, since his debut in La Traviata at the Opéra de Montréal, Steeve has quickly become one of the most talented heroic tenors of his generation. Particularly distinguished by a personal signature of the romantic pediod roles, especially Don Jose (Carmen), Hoffmann (Tales of Hoffmann), Samson (Samson et Dalila), the Duke of Mantua (Rigoletto), Rinuccio (Gianni Schicchi), Pinkerton (Madama Butterfly), Cavaradossi (Tosca) and Canio (I Pagliacci).

 

An artist with a "captivating charisma" combining a "superb phrasing art with remarkable musicality", the tenor is the recipient of several awards and distinctions. 

 

During the 2019-2020 season, Steeve will continue the tour of his recital L'Ora Squisita (The Exquisite Hour) and will take over the role of Hoffmann for the Opéra de Chicoutimi (SALR), subsequently, Steeve will be soloist at the BMO Cabaret in Ste-Thérèse and then at the Odyssey Opera Gala at La Maison de la culture de Gatineau.

 

Returning to the Opéra de Québec, he will be Alfred in Strauss II's Die Fledermaus. At concert’s scene, he will be soloists of the Orchestre Classique de Montreal performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the Maison Symphonique and will then collaborate with the Montreal Classical Choir performing Stabat Mater by Antonin Dvorak still at the Maison Symphonique.
