Thomas Ricart
Tenor

Thomas Ricart discovered singing at the Maîtrise Saint-Louis de Gonzague in Paris. The tenor discovered the great works of the choral repertoire and participated in several tours in Europe. After completing his business studies at ESSEC in 2016, he joined the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris to devote himself entirely to music.
There he received valuable advice from Alain Altinoglu, Anne Le Bozec, Bruno Mantovani, Hervé Niquet and Sabine Vatin. His repertoire includes roles as diverse as Gernando in Haydn’s L’isola disabitata and the Prologue in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw. He will soon take on the solo tenor part in Bach’s Matthäus-Passion under the direction of Xavier Ricour. Thomas is also happy to devote himself to the melody repertoire, which he explores with his partner, the pianist Katia Weimann. Thomas Ricart is supported by the Porosus Foundation.

Benoît Gadel
Baritone

A graduate of the CRD in Pantin and the Schola Cantorum, where he was taught by Nadine Denize, Benoît Gadel began his career with bass roles such as Colline (La Bohème, Puccini), Zuniga (Carmen, Bizet) or Ramfis (Aida, Verdi). His ease in the upper register enabled him to gradually move towards the baritone repertoire. He sang Escamillo in Carmen, Don Giovanni, Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro) and Guglielmo (Così fan tutte). With the characters of Rossini, Verdi and Ravel, Benoît also illustrates himself in the baroque repertoire of Purcell, Monteverdi and John Blow and makes some forays into operetta. In concert, he is regularly invited to perform the sacred works of Bach and Mozart, but also Charpentier, Fauré, Saint-Saëns, Dvořák and Brahms. Upcoming roles for the baritone include Giorgio Germont in Verdi’s La Traviata, Zurga in Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles and Silvio in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.
