Soprano

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. Her first singing teachers include Eunice Arias, Benoît Giaux, Elise Gäbele and Ana Camelia Stefanescu (IMEP, Namur). She then completed her Master's degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with Scott Johnson and Lorna Anderson. During the 23-24 season, she joined the Opera Studio of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie, under the tutelage of Patrizia Ciofi, where she took her first steps as a professional soloist (Joliette in ‘Patiente mon coeur’ by Lionel Polis). In 24-25, Aline got more familiar with Baroque repertoire under the guidance of Sophie Karthaüser thanks to the Studio Baroque IMEP in collaboration with the CAV&MA. It was in this context that Aline made a memorable impression with the creation of her first original show, ‘METAMORPHOSES: un one-mythomane-show baroque’ (musical director Vitor Barbero, director Vincent Dujardin).

Aline particularly enjoys singing in French and was awarded joint first prize in the A. Ramsay Calder Debussy Prize for Voice and the Norma Greig French Song Prize in May 2023. She has reveived support from the Help Musicians UK Postgraduate Award 2022 and the Fonds Thirionet 2026. She was also a semi-finaliste of the 17th International Singing Competition for Baroque Opera « Pietro Antonio Cesti » 2026 du Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik.

Aline sings choral music at a high professional level with the Choeur de Chambre de Namur (Leonardo García Alarcón, Thibaut Lenaerts) and the WDR Rundfunkchor in Cologne (Philipp Ahmann). She also enjoys working as a freelance opera chorus singer (Scottish Opera, Theater Aachen, Opéra National de Paris).

Alongside her stage career, Aline has a keen interest in vocal pedagogy. A certified singing teacher, she has been a vocal coach for young soloists in the title roles of Fanny and Alexander (Karlsson - Vavrek) at La Monnaie and teaches summer courses at the International Music Academy in Dinant.
