Biography
In the same year, 2018, French mezzo-soprano Eva Zaïcik, who specializes in Baroque music, won a Victoire de la musique classique and second prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition of Belgium. Born in Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne) on July 17, 1987, she learned to sing in a choir and took part in a number of shows before studying medicine. After discovering opera singing as a teenager, she went on to study at the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris, then in 2011 at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, where, after a Master's degree with honors, she undertook a Performer's Diploma (DAI) until 2019. In 2016, the mezzo-soprano singer was awarded the Prix Révélation de l'Adami after several operatic roles, notably with René Jacobs. Noticed by Vincent Dumestre, who integrated her into his baroque ensemble Le Poème Harmonique, Eva Zaïcik performed the title role in Didon et Ãnée at the Opéra royal de Versailles and took part in recordings of Lully's opera Phaéton. 2018 marked her consecration with a Victoire de la musique classique award in the revelation category and second prize at the Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition. She collaborates with the Jardin des Voix from William Christie's ensemble Les Arts Florissants, and records her first recital Venez Chère Ombre (2019), with Justin Taylor's Consort. Eva Zaïcik is also known for her work in other repertoires, such as Romantic lieder and contemporary creations, but it is through Baroque music that she has gained recognition. Following the release of her second Royal Haendel recital in 2021, the messo-soprano joins forces with Vincent Dumestre and his ensemble Le Poème Harmonique for Nisi Dominus (2022), followed by the highly personal Mayrig: To Armenian Mothers (2023), featuring arias from her youth. She returns to opera with Lully and Monteverdi, between the recitals Rebelle with the Orchestre national de Lille conducted by Pierre Dumoussaud (2024) and Cantar de alma with the Quatuor Debussy (2025), devoted to compositions by Dominique Vellard based on Mediterranean folk melodies.
