Véronique Filloux

French-American soprano Véronique Filloux has been praised for her “expressive, lovingly shaded soprano” and her “dazzling coloratura and lithe stage presence [used] to piquant comedic effect” (Opera News). This summer, she returned to Des Moines Metro Opera as Peaseblossom/Tytania (cover) in A Midsummer Night’s Dream after singing L’Amour/La Folie (cover) in Platée in 2021. She also debuted with Washington Concert Opera as Miss Ellen (Lakmé). Spending the season with Arizona Opera, she sings Zerbinetta (Ariadne auf Naxos), Liesl (The Sound of Music), Agatha (Frankenstein, workshop), and Pamina (Die Zauberflöte).

A 2020-22 Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artist, her roles included Papagena (The Magic Flute), The Girl/Luna (The Rose Elf), Frasquita (Carmen), Despina (Così fan tutte), Chan Parker (Charlie Parker’s Yardbird), and Handel’s titular Semele.
