Tenor Jean-François Lombard trained at the Conservatoire de Rouen, and his passion for Early Music led him to further studies at the Centre de Musique Baroque of Versailles. Appreciated for his light tenor voice known as ‘haute-contre à la française’, he has worked with prestigious Baroque ensembles, and in the operatic field has interpreted the roles of, among others, Tigrane in Caligula delirante, Erice in L’Ormindo (Opéra de Rennes) and Valère and Damon in Les Indes galantes (Opéra de Reims).
Lombard has performed French Baroque operatic repertoire at Princeton University and the Getty Center, Los Angeles, and he is also a keen interpreter of Romantic music. His discography includes numerous audio-visual releases.
