Juliette Tacchino
"...breathtaking voice, at once soft, bright but full of depth..." –Revue L'Opéra
Described by Le Devoir as “an excellent actress with impeccable projection and style,” soprano Juliette Tacchino won the special jury prize at the 2024 Sumi Jo International Singing Competition and the 2024 French Riviera Masters Competition at the Opéra de Nice Côte d’Azur. In the 2025–26 season, she tours throughout the United States in chamber music concerts and recitals. In 2024–25, Juliette performed with Opéra Fuoco in France under Maestro David Stern, where she presented a recital at the Château d’Écouen, and performed the soprano soloist role in William Boyce’s Solomon at the Opéra de Massy. She also made role debuts as Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro under Nicholas McGegan and in Candide under David-Charles Abell with Curtis Opera Theatre, performed Vivier’s Lonely Child with the Curtis Symphony Orchestra, and joined internationally renowned soprano Sumi Jo on tour in China and South Korea. Other performance highlights include concert performances of Mélisande (Pelléas et Mélisande) and Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier) with Curtis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, as well as performing roles on stage, including Ginevra (Ariodante), Thérèse (Les Mamelles de Tirésias), Vixen (The Cunning Little Vixen), and as a featured soloist in a staged production of Handel’s L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. In concert, Juliette appeared as the soprano soloist in Mozart’s Requiem with the Binghamton Philharmonic, Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with the Université de Montréal Orchestra, and Handel’s Dixit Dominus and Dettingen Te Deum with Monte-Carlo Chamber Orchestra.
Juliette received her Master of Music degree from Curtis Institute of Music and her bachelor’s degree from Université de Montréal.

Press
“While most of the artists gave great performances, some talents stood out brilliantly. This is particularly the case of Juliette Tacchino. Her breathtaking voice, at once soft, bright but full of depth, largely convinced the audience, especially in her role as the Peruvian princess.” (Translation)
Revue L’Opéra (Québec), Les Indes galantes
“One singer truly dominated the subject head and shoulders: Juliette Tacchino…Impeccable projection, well-placed voice, pronunciation, style… If it was an exam, it was passed with flying colors and honors.” (Translation)
Le Devoir, Les Indes galantes
“Impeccable in the role…and an excellent actress” (Translation)

“…excellent in the theatrical performance and vocal qualities.” (Translation)
LudwigVan MONTRÉAL, La vie Parisienne“In Tirésias, Juliette Tacchino brought a sparkling personality and a fearless high soprano to the title role. Her language skills as a native French speaker were certainly appreciated.”
Broad Street View, Les Mamelles de Tirésias“The accomplished soprano Juliette Tacchino, a delight to hear throughout.”
Opera News, Les Mamelles de Tirésias“Tacchino, a sensitive wellspring of calm…” “Tacchino’s optimism held alongside her determination.”
The New York Times“…This sensitive musician delivers a beautifully crafted “Adieu, notre petite table”, an extract from Massenet’s Manon, sung – from her recitative onwards – in impeccable French, with a true art of phrasing and nuances that augur a career to follow closely.” (Translation)
Première Loge Opéra“Juliette Tacchino launches into the air of La Folie from Platée and that of Thérèse (Les Mamelles de Tirésisas) which she serves with a sure, agile voice (skillful staccato vocalises in Platée), projected with great ease. Above all, the singer displays a beautiful humor.” (Translation)
Première Loge Opéra“The eccentricity of [Juliette Tacchino[ was able to shine through not only in the choice of the extracts chosen (with Adelaide’s aria “It’s my wedding” by J. Dove), but also in the personal interpretation she made of it.”
