Lucie Cure is a French/British mezzo-soprano, composer, and performer. Her artistic practice bridges classical tradition and experimental vocal expression with the ecological and emotional urgencies of our time, giving voice to biodiversity through collective singing and hybrid opera compositions. Lucie explores immersive and interactive musical performances, sometimes inviting the audience, if they wish, to come together through the resonance of their own voices.

​​​​

Cure has presented her original compositions Invoking Melpomene at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, Plastic Mermaids directed by Neo Mythology at Soho House Copenhagen, Infinite Pollination at Cecilia Fiona’s opening exhibition at Andersens Contemporary, We at Riverside Studios and Muse of Peaks at Treephonia London. In close collaboration with and directed by Madeleine Kate McGowan, Cure co-composed and performed What is the Value of a Bird Song? and its variation Bird Opera, a handwritten piece - adaptation of ten red listed birds’ songs - performed at BLOXHUB, Thoravej29, Sct. Hans Have, and the Danish Architecture Center. As Ami, she performed in the large-scale immersive landscape choral work Solastalgia in Sydhavnstippen, directed by Madeleine Kate McGowan, produced by S/H and metropolis. Lucie has co-created with Yoanna Bochowski the artistic direction duo Neo-Mythology, creating a world where ancient deities are facing nowadays climate crisis challenges. Together with Leïla Belangeon Bouaziz, they have created a musical duo Lueurs Nocturnes at the intersection of concrete music, experimental-noise, lyrical singing and poetry.

​​

As a mezzo-soprano, Lucie has interpreted leading roles in operas by Mozart, Verdi, Poulenc, Bizet, Ravel, Offenbach, Chabrier, Pergolesi, and Purcell and has sung in choirs as an alto with Le Jeune Chœur de Paris and le Chœur de la Sorbonne. As a choir conductor, she has led a workshop with À Bout de Souffle and helps facilitate Solas choir, singing while moving as grief, joy, resistance, stabilizing nervous systems & resonance in union of song, created by Madeleine Kate McGowan.  Lucie earned her Master of Music in Performance in July 2022 from the Royal College of Music in London, where she studied under the guidance of Sally Burgess. She has been honored with notable scholarships, including "Their Serene Highnesses Dr Prince Donatus and Princess Heidi Von Hohenzollern Scholar" and "Bruce-Payne Vaseppi Scholar". Her voice serves as a tool to portray characters from both traditional opera and contemporary performance, all in the service of catharsis, emotion, intention and connection. Exploring as a playground the bridge between the muses of the past and the inspirations of today, Lucie investigates with her collaborators & the audience on the universal power of emotion and creativity in the face of contemporary challenges. ​​​

“waves of ways and beings, waves of thousand meanings, re-emerging ways of thinking, gathering, acting, performing. Protesting. Protecting.” -  L.Cure

​

In summer 2025, Cure will tour with Bird Opera by Madeleine Kate McGowan, as part of Performing Landscapes, produced by Metropolis. She will perform and compose for The Rites of Wreckage and Waste, a site-specific performative parade taking place during the KIN Festival in September 2025.
