Lucie Cure is a French/British mezzo-soprano, composer, performer, singing teacher, vocal workshop and choir facilitator, based in Copenhagen.

​​

Her artistic practice bridges classical singing and explorations of vocal expression, intertwining composition and performance to engage with the ecological and emotional urgencies of our time. Frequently performing outdoors, Lucie and her collaborators work in dialogue with audiences, sometimes inviting them to sing, and with landscapes, allowing each place to shape the music and its unfolding. Her compositions often give voice to the more-than-human through hybrid soundscapes and take many forms, sometimes centred on the voice alone, other times expanding into collective singing, chamber orchestra, electronics, pre-recorded choir, field recordings, chamber textures, drones, and both industrial and natural sounds. 

​​

Lucie has performed her music compositions in a wide range of artistic contexts: The Rites of Wreckage and Waste during the CAFxBiennale at Thorvaldsens Museum and KIN Festival, Invoking Melpomene at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, Undulations at Distortion's opening, Plastic Mermaids at Soho House Copenhagen, And the Needle Was a Golden Key and Infinite Pollination by Cecilia Fiona at Chart Art Fair 2025 and Andersens Contemporary, We at Riverside Studios and Muse of Peaks with the Rothko Ensemble part of Treephonia together with duo Neo-Mythology at Ilex Studio in London. In close collaboration with and under the direction of Madeleine Kate McGowan, she composed and performed What is the Value of a Bird Song? and its variation Bird Opera, an adaptation of ten red-listed birds’ songs, performed across Metropolis Performing Landscapes Tour, Sydhavn Theater, Thoravej29, BLOXHUB, Sct. Hans Have, and the Danish Architecture Center. Lucie also co-created the artistic direction duo Neo-Mythology with Yoanna Bochowski, envisioning hybrid opera performances where mythological deities confront today’s climate crisis. Together with Leïla Belangeon Bouaziz, she forms Lueurs Nocturnes, a musical duo 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. She has performed in various immersive operas directed by Z.Csekö, singing alongside audiences of up to 800 children per performance, transforming each production into a large-scale participatory musical experience. As a choir conductor, she has led rehearsal with À Bout de Souffle and helps facilitate Solas choir. 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, protection and connection. Lucie investigates with her collaborators & the audience on the universal power of emotion and creativity in the face of contemporary challenges, as an act of resistance.

As a performer, Lucie appeared in Solastalgia, both its 48-hour immersive version at Sort/Hvid Theater and its large-scale landscape vocal piece at Sydhavnstippen (produced by Sort/Hvid and Metropolis), as well as in Book of Songs at the Helsingør Passage Festival and Metropolis Landscapes, all directed by Madeleine Kate McGowan.

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

​

Together with Paulina Miu, they create Sutarti a research-based project inspired by Lithuanian sutartinės, approaching vocal polyphony as a living practice of alignment, rhythm, and listening. In March 2026, they will take part in 25AV Residency in Brno, co-funded by the European Union.

​

As a director, composer and singer, Lucie creates PAINTING THE UNHEARD an ongoing series exploring correspondences between music, painting, and the more-than-human. PAINTING THE UNHEARD invites audiences to approach visual artworks as living scores, discovering and shaping their unseen dimensions through the voice, beyond words.In January 2026, Lucie facilitated a participatory vocal workshop at UH42. In February 2026, she takes part in a residency with Cecilia Fiona, Jonathan Hjorth, and Mads Lassen, by Sort.Hvid at Thoravej 29.
