Victor Sicard

The young baritone Victor Sicard has captured international attention since his participation in William Christie's sixth Jardin des Voix, which led him to do an international tour with the Arts Florissants. In the opera field, Victor Sicard is remarkable in French music, from lyric tragedy to 20th century works. This is evidenced by his incarnation of Tisiphone in L'Amour et Psyché by Mondoville with Le Concert d'Astrée (Dijon and Lille Operas, Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg) or, more recently, the roles of Jealousy and Nemesis in Idoménée by Campra again under the baton of Emmanuelle Haïm (Lille Opera, Berlin Staatsoper).

Victor assumes with equal mastery the virtuosity of Italian opera. In 18th century music, he collaborated twice with Il Pomo d’Oro (Partenope and Serse by Händel) and Les Accents by Thibault Noally (Farnace in Mitridate Eupatore by Scarlatti at the Beaune Festival and Tempo in Il Trionfo del Tempo at the Tours Opera). Unquestionably, he established a privileged collaboration with Leonardo García Alarcón and his Cappella Mediterranea: after Orlando in Il Palazzo Incantato by Rossi (Dijon, Nancy and Versailles Operas), he sang Genere umano in Il dono della vita eterna by Draghi for a tour in the Netherlands and France (Versailles, Dijon, etc.) and created the role of Saint Peter in Leonardo García Alarcón’s composition entitled La Passione di Gesù (Festival d’Ambronay and Namur Concert Hall). 

The 2023/2024 season brings the revival of Scarlatti’s Mitridate Eupatore with Les Accents (Paris, Amsterdam) and Hahn’s Ô mon bel inconnu (Dijon, Rouen, Avignon and Massy); Bach cantatas with Laurence Equilbey and Insula Orchestra, and his first collaboration with Jordi Savall, as Apollo in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo at the Royal Opera in Versailles, in a production by Pauline Bayle.
