May 3rd 2026, Sunday

1 piano, 2 voices, 4 hands… and a thousand stories to tell!
This is the starting point of this original recital, where roles intertwine, hands multiply, and voices engage in dialogue to create a world that is both playful and poetic.

For this special occasion, two piano-voice duos, finalists of the Nadia and Lili Boulanger Competition, come together: Félix Merle (baritone) and Flore-Élise Capelier (piano), alongside Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (mezzo-soprano) and Ayano Kamei (piano).

The four artists share far more than a stage: they are all alumni of the Académie de l’Opéra Comique and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP), where they forged strong artistic and personal bonds. Longtime friends, they reunite here to create a program that reflects who they are—rooted in excellence and the joy of sharing.

Throughout this recital, they invite you to step into the world of storytelling: whispered or radiant tales, whimsical characters, and emotions laid bare. A journey where music becomes narrative, and where the four performers play with the conventions of the recital to reinvent its very form.

Founded in 1991 by Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques have established themselves as one of the leading period-instrument ensembles, with a career shaped by Baroque opera and tragédie lyrique, as well as programmes spanning from the Baroque to the Classical era. Their work combines concerts, staged productions, and recordings, and has been recognised internationally for many years.

For Rameau’s Pygmalion, a one-act acte de ballet first performed in 1748, Christophe Rousset conducts Abel Zamora in the title role, alongside Neima Fischer, Michèle Bréant, and Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin.

Capitole de Toulouse

26th June to 6th July 2026

Role of Mercédès (all casts)

Carmen is the most popular opera in the world, and one of the most moving—a searing tragedy of a woman who confronts her fate to assert her freedom to the very end.

In 2022, Marie-Nicole Lemieux made a historic debut in the title role, despite the challenging context of the health crisis. To overcome that difficult time and to offer you once again, in the best possible conditions, Jean-Louis Grinda’s beautiful production, a swift revival was essential. This revival promises to be spectacular, with two exceptional casts and Leo Hussain at the podium, an ideal conductor in the French repertoire.

The Zimmerlin-Dechambre duo was born out of friendship and a shared love of music.

The duo won first prize at the Clermont-Auvergne Opera Competition and performs regularly in a variety of programmes. Léontine Mardiat-Zimmerlin, an academician at the Opéra Comique 2024-2025, is an Adami 2025 artist. This new season, she is making her debut at the Capitole in Toulouse, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, and in Tenerife.

July 11th, Satudray, 2026

At the Pont-Croix Festival – Voice and Chamber Music (summer 2026), the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame de Roscudon provides its warm acoustics for a recital where the voice meets the art of the string quartet: mezzo-soprano Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (nominated as Lyric Artist Revelation at the Victoires de la Musique Classique 2026) joins forces with pianist Gabriel Durliat and the Quatuor Hermès—winners of the Geneva Competition and quartet in residence at the Fondation Singer-Polignac—for a journey through French music, rich in poetry, clarity, and sweeping lyrical impulse. The programme (Saturday 11 July 2026) moves from Fauré to Debussy, Duparc to Chausson, and culminates in Ravel’s String Quartet, including the jewel of chamber song, Chausson’s Chanson perpétuelle for voice, quartet and piano.

Montpellier, Salle Pasteur, Le Corum

July 16th, Thursday 2026, 12:30 pm

As part of the warm and welcoming Radio France Occitanie Montpellier Festival, Brenda Poupard, Anouk Defontenay and Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin—three young singers, each gifted with a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice—will come together for a concert unlike any other. Selected in 2025 to take part in a masterclass led by Marianne Crebassa, herself a mezzo-soprano, the idea arose to invite them one year later to perform together, alongside their close musical partner, pianist Anne Pagès-Boisset. Although they share the same vocal range, their voices are strikingly different in colour, allowing them to alternate between solo, duo and trio numbers without ever giving the impression of a single voice simply multiplied two or three times. With music by Pauline Viardot, Bizet, Gluck and others, this programme offers a threefold exploration of the mezzo-soprano voice.
