Biography

The light and agile voice of Belgian soprano Aline Giaux has not only made her well suited for soubrette/character roles, but also shows exceptional ease in the higher coloratura range. With most of her early training taking place in the youth opera choir of the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie (Brussels), Aline Giaux felt at home on the opera stage from an early age.

Aline began her academic journey with two undergraduate courses, first in Music Education and then in Vocal Performance, at the IMEP (Institut Royal Supérieur de Musique et de Pédagogie, Belgium). Her voice tutors in Belgium included Eunice Arias, Benoît Giaux, Elise Gäbele and Ana Camelia Stefanescu. She then completed her Master’s degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, under the tutelage of Scott Johnson and Lorna Anderson. Aline was honoured to be supported by Help Musicians UK as a recipient of their Postgraduate Award during her second year in Glasgow.

During the 23-24 season, Aline was a member of the Opera Studio of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie (Liège, Belgium), where she studied with Patrizia Ciofi, and made her professional solo debut as Joliette in ”Patiente mon coeur”, a new opera for young audiences by Lionel Polis. For the 24-25 season, she moved on to specialize in Baroque repertoire with Sophie Karthaüser as a member of the new Studio Baroque in Namur, a collaboration between the IMEP and the CAV&MA.

Aline is a keen chorus singer. In 2025, she became an intermittent member of both the Choeur de Chambre de Namur (Leonardo García Alarcón, Thibaut Lenaerts) and the WDR Radio choir in Cologne (Philipp Ahmann). She also loves working as a freelance opera chorus singer (Scottish Opera, Theater Aachen).

Always eager to sing in her native language, French, Aline was awarded joint First Prize in the A. Ramsay Calder Debussy Prize for Voice and the Norma Greig French Song Prize in May 2023.

Aline has performed the full role of Zima (Les Indes Galantes) in Benslow Music’s historically informed production of Spring 2022. She was also cast as Atalanta (Serse), Despina (Cosi fan tutte), Lucia (The Rape of Lucretia), Adina (L’elisir d’amore), Sophie (Werther) and the Dew Fairy (Hänsel und Gretel) for selected opera scenes at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Early on in her studies, Aline also developed a strong interest in musical and vocal pedagogy, languages and phonetics,. As of summer 2024, she is an officially qualified voice teacher. She had the pleasure of working as a vocal coach for the young soloists from the la Monnaie Children and Youth choirs playing the title roles in “Fanny and Alexander” (Karlsson - Vavrek) in the Winter of 2024. No matter where her performance career takes her, it will always bring Aline great joy to pass her knowledge and skill on to others.
