Marc Mauillon, Voice
An unusually versatile artist, Marc Mauillon is equally at home performing music from the medieval era to the present day. Sometimes a baritone, sometimes a tenor, this chameleon adapts his colours to the music he performs and the characters he embodies. A prolific performer of Baroque and contemporary opera, Mauillon has worked with many of the top directors and early music conductors of the early 21st century. Recent highlights include: Castor et Pollux (Pollux) at the Opéra national de Paris (T. Currentzis/P. Sellars) and Les fêtes d’Hébé (Momus & Mercure) at the Opéra-Comique (W. Christie/R. Carsen).
