Marie Elizabeth Seager

Mezzo-Soprano

Paris-born mezzo-soprano Marie Elizabeth Seager has built a rich and diverse career rooted in deep musical curiosity and artistic evolution. Her journey began at the age of ten with the children’s choir of Dijon Cathedral and has since taken her across continents and centuries of repertoire.

Specializing early in medieval and French Baroque music, she spent over a decade performing and recording extensively across Europe and Japan. Her path then led her to London, where she studied at the Guildhall School of Music and with the English National Opera, performing widely as both a soloist and professional chorister in oratorios and operas.

As her voice developed into a more dramatic instrument, Marie Elizabeth gravitated toward Romantic and contemporary repertoire. She has since performed in Latvia, Bulgaria, England, Germany, and Belgium, and is a regular member of the Paris Opera chorus, balancing ensemble work with a growing portfolio of solo engagements.

Her notable stage roles include Carmen, Mère Marie in Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, and the cover of Two Weird Sisters in Pascal Dusapin’s Macbeth Underworld at La Monnaie. She has also performed Ravel’s Shéhérazadeboth with orchestra and piano in Germany and Latvia, and was set to debut as Amneris in Aida—a production halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A compelling recitalist, Marie Elizabeth has garnered acclaim for her interpretation of Olivier Messiaen’s Harawi, in collaboration with Latvian pianist Toms Ostrovskis.

In 2025, she will return to the stage in Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine, presented in London with orchestra, and will also perform a recital of English music in Tallinn, featuring Elgar’s Sea Pictures and works by Stephen Hough and John Ireland.

Marie Elizabeth Seager brings intelligence, emotional depth, and stylistic versatility to each performance—a true artist whose voice bridges eras and cultures.
