American soprano Nicole Chevalier makes her role and house debut at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein with Antonín Dvořák's “Rusalka.” Highlights of her career to date include her debuts as Salome at the Komische Oper Berlin, at the Festival d'Aix en Provence, where she played Elettra in a new production of Mozart's “Idomeneo,” and as Despina in Dmitri Tcherniakov's new production of “Così fan tutte” at the Salzburg Festival and the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden. She has appeared as Eva in Richard Wagner's “Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” at the Teatro Real Madrid, in Calixto Bieito's new production of Carl Orff's ‘Trionfi’ at the Hamburg State Opera, and at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London and the Berlin State Opera, where she demonstrated her versatility in roles such as Vitellia in “La clemenza di Tito” and Donna Elvira in “Don Giovanni.”
Nicole Chevalier made her debut at the London Coliseum for English National Opera (ENO) in a staged one-woman-show version of Henryk Górecki's “Symphony of Sad Songs” and as Violetta in the legendary one-woman-show production directed by Benedikt von Peter. She sang the title role in Thea Musgrave's “Maria, Queen of Scots” at the Leipzig Opera, Agathe in Christoph Marthaler's new production of Weber's “Der Freischütz” at the Theater Basel, Leonore in “Fidelio” (1806) directed by Christoph Waltz and in “Thaïs” with Peter Konwitschny at the Theater an der Wien. This was followed by the title role in Jacques Offenbach's “La belle Hélène”, Handel's “Semele” and Aribert Reimann's “Medea” at the Komische Oper Berlin; the Four Heroines in Krzysztof Warlikowski's production of “Les Contes d'Hoffmann” at La Monnaie Brussels and at the Greek National Opera in Athens - roles for which she was awarded the “Der Faust” theater prize for best performing artist in Germany in Barrie Kosky's production of “Les Contes d'Hoffmann” in Berlin.
The production with Nicole Chevalier in Schönberg's “Pierrot Lunaire” with Kent Nagano at the Hamburg State Opera was recorded for the Berlin Biennale in 2020. Her interpretations of “Thaïs” and Leonore are available on DVD. In 2023, Deutsche Grammophon/Universal released Mozart's “Alcandro, lo confesso” in a recording with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.
