Arpiné Rahdjian

Career Trajectory

Arpiné Rahdjian's professional trajectory began with her international debut as Micaëla in Carmen at the 2005 Festival styriarte under Nikolaus Harnoncourt, a performance that catalyzed engagements across Europe's leading opera houses. Over the following decade, she established herself as a lyric-dramatic soprano of considerable vocal authority and interpretive intelligence, performing at the Salzburg Festival, Opéra National de Paris, and major German opera houses in the core repertoire. Her career concluded with a sabbatical in 2013 and permanent withdrawal from performance in 2014, marking the end of a promising but ultimately circumscribed international career.
