Fort Worth Opera welcomes internationally renowned Trinidadian soprano Jeanine De Bique for a one-night-only recital at Van Cliburn Concert Hall. Appearing with distinguished Belgian pianist Aaron Wajnberg, De Bique brings her extraordinary artistry to an intimate concert setting that places her luminous voice—and her singular interpretive voice—in full focus. 

​

Hailed for her “dazzling virtuosity” (Gramophone) and praised for performances that are “electrifying” and “fearlessly individual,” De Bique has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling sopranos of her generation. Celebrated for her flawless technique, sparkling coloratura, and keen dramatic intelligence, she captivates audiences with performances that are at once virtuosic and deeply personal. Her versatility allows her to move seamlessly across baroque, classical, and contemporary repertoire, bringing clarity, immediacy, and emotional truth to every phrase. 

​

Jeanine De Bique has appeared with many of the world’s leading opera companies, including San Francisco Opera, Paris Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and Zurich Opera. In recital, she is especially admired for imaginative programming and vivid storytelling—qualities showcased on her acclaimed debut album, Mirrors, recorded with Concerto Köln and praised for its striking individuality and dramatic insight. 

 

Joining her is Aaron Wajnberg, a pianist recognized internationally for his expressive depth, luminous touch, and refined musical insight. A sought-after collaborator at Carnegie Hall, the Concertgebouw, and BOZAR, Wajnberg is regarded as one of the foremost interpreters of art song of his generation. Known for his poetic sensitivity and dynamic partnership with singers, he brings a rare combination of technical brilliance and interpretive nuance to the stage. 

​

Together, De Bique and Wajnberg create recital experiences of striking intimacy and compelling dramatic arc—performances that illuminate text and music with intelligence, warmth, and emotional immediacy. 

​

This special recital offers Fort Worth audiences a rare opportunity to experience one of the 21st century’s most riveting soprano voices up close—an evening of brilliance, intimacy, and expressive power from an artist at the height of her ascent.
