Raphaëlle has a solid background in classical singing from the Montreal University Music Faculty, a college diploma in piano, training in acting and ballet (Grands Ballets Canadiens).  The flamboyant and audacious coloratura soprano has developed a refined mastery of the repertoire for lyric heroines such as Marie in Donizetti’s «La Fille du Régiment» and Olympia in Offenbach’s «The Tales of Hoffmann» which she performed at Opéra Théâtre de Rimouski, Violetta in Verdi’s «La Traviata», Rosina in Rossini’s «Il Barbiere di Siviglia» and «Armida» in which her Toronto appearance in the title role was qualified by the reviewer as … ‘breathtaking’.

Her repertoire includes the following roles: Marguerite de Valois in «Les Huguenots» performed with Opera in Concert in Toronto, Oscar in «Un ballo in maschera» at Opéra de Québec, Nella in «Gianni Schicchi» at Opéra de Montréal, Adele in «Die Fledermaus» at the Vermont International Opera Festival, Frasquita in «Carmen», Missia and Nadia in «The Merry Widow» and the Fairy in Viardot’s «Cendrillon».

Recently she presented her new show «R» on tour throughout Quebec and created the refreshing and glittering duo voice and guitar, Raphaëlle et Francis, who have already done more than a hundred concerts.
