2025/26
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). In 2025, she made her role and house debuts with Eugene Opera as Gilda (Rigoletto) and Opera Montana as Gretel (Hansel and Gretel). She also joined The Atlanta Opera to cover the title role in Handel's Semele. The summer holds a return to Central City Opera in concert and as Lady Larken (Once Upon a Mattress). She goes on to debut with Haymarket Opera as Proserpina in Peri's Euridice and with Fort Worth Opera as the titular Belle in Glass' La belle et la bête. She also returns to the role of Musetta in La bohème with El Paso Opera 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). She returns to both the role of Sœur Constance in Dialogues des Carmélites in her debut with New Orleans Opera and the soprano solo in Carmina Burana with Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Alabama Ballet in 2026.
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."
