Alexandre Beuchat in the New Voices final round
The Jura baritone Alexandre Beuchat is formally the only Swiss singer in the final round of the prestigious Neue Stimmen competition, which will be held in October. He will be competing against 41 other candidates in Gütersloh.
Born in Courtételle, Beuchat completed his Master of Arts in Performance with Barbara Locher at the Lucerne School of Music in summer 2016. Preliminary studies as a violonist, lessons with Wicus Slabbert and Edith Lienbacher and masterclasses with Margreet Honig, Klaus Mertens and Ton Koopman rounded off his musical training to date. In the 2015/16 season, he was a permanent member of the Lucerne Theater ensemble.
The Bertelsmann Stiftung's international singing competition Neue Stimmen was initiated in 1987 by the patron Liz Mohn. It is regarded as one of the most important international platforms for young opera singers. Young opera singers can use the competition to establish contacts with jury members, artistic directors and agents.
