Ode to love in famous and lesser-known opera arias

Praised for her ‘endless wealth of colour and nuance’ (Opernwelt), Trinidad-born Jeanine De Bique has swiftly established herself as ‘one of the most exciting sopranos to catch onstage these days’ (Operawire). In April 2024, she electrified the Muziekgebouw.

Now, she’s coming back with B’Rock to celebrate the goddess of love. Continuing her exploration of female figures, opera heroines in her Edison-winning CD Mirrors, she now paints Venus with a palette of sounds through compositions by Handel, Legrenzi, Zelenka and Pepusch.

With her clear, agile voice and enormous charisma, Jeanine De Bique has grown into a must-hear soprano. Last season, she delivered a stunning performance with Pygmalion in the acclaimed Dutch National Opera production Le lacrime di Eros, about the dark side of love.
