Stéphanie d'Oustrac was destined for music and the theater from an early age. William Christie offered her her first roles as a tragedienne. Her repertoire was undeniably influenced by the Baroque world (Médée, Didon et Enée, Armide, Alcina, L'Incoronazione di Poppea...). 

Thanks to her diction and interpretative skills, she quickly became a key figure in the French repertoire (Carmen, Béatrice et Bénédict, Pelléas et Mélisande, L'Heure espagnole, La Voix humaine, Dialogues des Carmélites, Werther, Les Troyens, Mignon...), as well as in Mozart (La Clemenza di Tito, Così fan tutte, Idomeneo, Don Giovanni...).

She performs on the greatest stages (Opéra de Paris, Scala de Milan, Opernhaus de Zurich, Monnaie de Bruxelles, Opéra d'Amsterdam, Teatro Real de Madrid, Liceu de Barcelone, as well as at the festivals of Aix en Provence, Glyndebourne and Salzburg), and her strong artistic personality seduces the greatest directors and conductors.

She has recently taken part in productions of Werther in Monte Carlo, Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda in Geneva, Carmen in Strasbourg and Tokyo, Mignon in Liège, La Périchole at Opéra-Comique, La Voix humaine in Glyndebourne, Lully's Armide in Dijon and Versailles, Dialogues des Carmélites in Munich...
 

Among her projects this season and in the seasons to come: Agrippina in Amsterdam, L'Heure espagnole at the Opéra-Comique, the Tudor trilogy at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, Cesti's L'Orontea at La Scala, Dialogues des Carmélites in Dallas, Carmen at La Monnaie, at the Paris Opéra... In concert, she plays Marguerite in La Damnation de Faust with the Orchestre National de France...
