2024/25
Season
French-American soprano Véronique Filloux has been praised as "showstopping... she used her dazzling coloratura and lithe stage presence to piquant comedic effect" (Opera News). She began her 2024/25 season as a guest artist with Central City Opera, singing Mrs. Fiorentino (Street Scene), and she went on to return to Livermore Valley Opera in her role debut as Marie (La fille du régiment) and to Pacific Opera Project as the leading lady in Cagnoni's rarely-performed Don Bucefalo. In 2025, she makes her role and house debuts with Eugene Opera as Gilda (Rigoletto) and Opera Montana as Gretel (Hansel and Gretel). She also joins The Atlanta Opera to cover the title role in Handel's Semele. The summer holds a return to Central City Opera as Lady Larken (Once Upon a Mattress). She goes on to debut with Haymarket Opera as Dafne in Peri's Euridice and with Fort Worth Opera as the titular Belle in Glass' La belle et la bete. She also returns to the role of Musetta in La boheme (company TBA) following her role debut with Berkshire Opera Festival in 2023, and she returns to Eugene Opera in her role debut as Mabel (The Pirates of Penzance).
Véronique is a grant winner of the 2023 Arizona Commission for the Arts, a multi-year Jensen Competition finalist, 2nd Place Winner of the Musicians Club of Women Competition, and the 1st Place Winner of the Dorothy Lincoln-Smith Vocal Competition, the Mildred Miller Competition, and the Zenith Opera Competition. Recent seasons have included work with companies including Wolf Trap Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Arizona Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera, Washington Concert Opera, Music of the Baroque, and The Metropolitan Opera, with whom she originated the role of Helen in the workshop of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
“MELISMATIC DISPLAYS OF VOCAL DEXTERITY AND POWER”
Véronique Filloux is the soprano playing Semele, a role that fits her youth and voice type very well. She displays the naivete, playfulness, and emerging self-determination of her character... Her coloratura and melismatic displays of vocal dexterity and power were impressive enough, but it was in the gentlest aria "O Sleep, why dost thou leave me" that the beauty of her voice comes to the fore."

"Precision AND a modicum of pathos ”
"There is just the one female presence in this otherwise all-male undertaking, the Eve-like temptress known only as Curley’s Wife. We can pin the sexual politics on Steinbeck, while noting that Floyd gives this lonesome, unhappy woman a voice of her own, and that soprano Véronique Filloux dispatched her assignment with precision and a modicum of pathos."
