Ariane Delacroix ~Pie Jesu ~ 2024 Tribute to Reopening of the Cathedral of Notre Dame

Ariane Delacroix is a young French soprano who gained international recognition for her performance at the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on December 7, 2024. Under the baton of conductor Gustavo Dudamel, she delivered a poignant rendition of "Pie Jesu" from Fauré's Requiem, accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.

Her performance was widely praised for its clarity and emotional depth, standing out as a highlight of the evening.

Prior to this event, Delacroix was relatively unknown on the international stage. Her participation in such a significant cultural and historical occasion has since brought her considerable attention, marking her as a promising talent in the classical music scene.

The reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral, following its devastating fire in 2019, was a momentous event attended by dignitaries and featured performances by esteemed artists. Delacroix's contribution to this ceremony has been noted as a symbol of renewal and hope, reflecting the resilience of both the cathedral and the arts.
