Stacey Alleaume (born 1985 or 1986 (age 37–38))[1] is a principal soprano for Opera Australia of Australian and Mauritian descent.[2]

Biography

Alleaume's family came from Port Louis in Mauritius where her grandfather had been mayor and her grand-uncle curator of the opera house.[3][4] She then grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Narre Warren and studied voice at the University of Melbourne and the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara.[5][6]

In 2016 she became a member of the Opera Australia Moffatt Oxenbould Young Artist Program after winning the Dame Joan Sutherland Scholarship; in the same year she performed in a large scale "silent opera" (The Eighth Wonder in a headphones-only presentation) on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.[1][7] Alleaume's voice was used in the 2021 feature film Falling for Figaro for the character Millie Cantwell.[8]

In 2021 she stepped into the role of Violetta in La traviata for Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour at short notice. This performance was highly praised by critics.[9]

She has sung for Opera Australia, Australian Contemporary Opera Company, Opera Hong Kong, Fondazione Petruzelli, Royal Opera House Muscat, and Deutsche Oper am Rhein.[10]
