André Heyboer

In 1992, he entered the Conservatoire de Toulouse and met José van Dam with whom he performs in recitals. In 2005, he began a career as a baritone. Today, he performs in works from the 19th century French and Italian repertoire (Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Massenet) without neglecting contemporary creation (La Métamorphose by Michaël Levinas).

Biography

Heyboer began his musical apprenticeship at the age of eleven when he began practicing singing in the choirs of Terrasson-Lavilledieu and the Camerata Vocal of Brive.

He approaches the Renaissance, French, Italian and German Baroque repertoires in the festivals of la Vézère, La Chaise-Dieu and the Sylvanès Abbey. He is also a recipient of the Jeunesses musicales de France. At the same time he studied classical guitar for eight years.

Supported by patronage, he moved from choral singing to the roles of soloist, and developed his technique through private teaching. He met artists such as José van Dam. He followed the master classes of the "Master of Music" and took part in several concerts alongside him. At the Capitole de Toulouse he was a soloist in Charpentier's Louise (direction by Nicolas Joel, conductor Michel Plasson).

He plays Pristav in Boris Godunov, Noé in Britten's L'arche de Noé[1] and a Flemish Member of Parliament in Don Carlos. He specifies his repertoire choices by working with Gian Koral, Juan Carlos Moralès, and also Robert Massard.

Subsequently, he started in Paris a new collaboration with Michelle Wegwart, vocal coach at the opéra Bastille.

From 2006 to 2010, he alternates between the second plans of importance and the first plans, sings alongside confirmed interpreters (Neil Schicoff, Roberto Scianduzzi, Violeta Urmana, Dennis O Neill, Annick Massis, Natalie Dessay, Sophie Koch, Ludovic Tezier). At the Capitole de Toulouse he embodies Wagner in Faust, Jahel in Le roi d'Ys and Roucher in Giordano's Andrea Chenier. He will resume this role in Marseille, Monte Carlo and the Dutch National Opera alongside Marcello Alvarez.

At the Paris Opera he is Rugierro in Halévy's La Juive (2007) and De Bretigny in Manon (2012).

In 2009 he sang on the land of his Dutch ancestors at the Amsterdam Opera House, performing La Juive. He is Melot in Tristan and Isolde at the same time as he is a double on the role of Kurwenal at the Forum de Montpellier.

In Dijon, he plays Macbeth (2008), Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor (2009), Valentin in Gounod's Faust (2007) which was to be taken over in 2012 in Avignon, with an entirely French distribution including Nathalie Manfrino, Florian Laconi, Nicolas Cavallier.

In Saint-Étienne, he was Alfio and Guarrido in the same evening, in Marseille, he took on the costume of Germont and at the French May Festival in Hong Kong, he took on the features of Manon's cousin in the person of Lescaut. At the Festival de Sédières, he held the title role of Rigoletto.

These productions have allowed him to evolve under the direction of renowned conductors such as Y. Abel, M. Armiliato, P. Arrivabeni, D. Callegari, R. Calderon, L. Campellone, F. M. Carminati, A. Guingal, L. Hussain, F. Layer, G-E. Octors, D. Oren, E. Pido, M. Plasson, C. Rizzi, C. Schnitzler, T. Sokiev, P. Steinberg, D. Trottein... and directors such as P. Audi, R. Auphan, J-C. Auvray, Y.

He participates in the creation of Michaël Levinas's La Métamorphose at the Opéra de Lille, a production which won the "Grand Prix of the Academie Charles Cros" in 2012 and the "Prix de l'Académie lyrique du disque". There he interprets the Father, a demanding role that allows him to unfold his vocal ambitus to the extreme. He takes over Reyer's Salammbô (he plays the role of Spendius) under the baton of Lawrence Foster, with Kate Aldrich.

In 2012 he incarnates Zurga with authority at the Opéra comique in Bizet's Les Pêcheurs de Perles with Sonya Yoncheva, Dmitri Korshak[2] and Nicolas Testé.[3] At the end of that same year, he took part in the recording CD of Catel's Les bayadères, and (Olkar) in Sofia at the Centre de musique romantique française.

In 2013, he is Padre Camoine in Mascagni's Amica at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. In April of the same year, he sang, accompanied by Éloïse Urbain,[4] an opera recital as part of the "Great Performers" season of the Sinfonia festival in Périgord.

For the 2013-2014 season, under the guise of a fanatical and belligerent father, he incarnates the role of Nilakhanta at the Opéra-théâtre de Saint-Étienne. At the Paris Opéra, Sonora in La fanciulla del West at Bastille, and finally Alfio at the Capitole de Toulouse in Cavalleria Rusticana. He takes part at la Tosca in the Dutch National Opera.

His upcoming projects will take him to Vienna, Munich and Versailles in Gounod's Cinq Mars with a recording of the work, in Toulon as Paolo Albiani in Simon Boccanegra, and finally to the opera of São Paulo with the role of Athanael in Thaïs.
