With a string of awards and a world premier performance to her name, Marie-Nicole Lemieux is a force to be reckoned with. Her lyric Contralto voice enables her to perform the Handel and Vivaldi roles with ease, and to great acclaim. She swims twice a week, and takes great care of her voice. Lemieux is an excellent interpreter of the roles she takes on, and is able to bring new insights to the Baroque characters.
