"Infinite grief"
Jodie Devos (35) loses her battle against breast cancer
Soprano Jodie Devos was considered one of the most talented opera singers of her generation. Now the Belgian singer has died of breast cancer at the age of 35.
She had already had to cancel several concerts in recent weeks due to her illness.
"It is with infinite sadness that we inform you that our artist Jodie Devos passed away on June 16, 2024 in Paris," wrote her agency Intermezzo, which had been managing her career since 2016, on Facebook.
The soprano was considered "one of the most talented opera artists of her generation". She died "as a result of breast cancer, which had forced her to cancel several engagements", as Intermezzo explained in a press release.
Promising career
Her career began with a second place at the prestigious Concours Reine Elisabeth competition in 2014. Jodie Devos later performed all over the world and worked with well-known conductors and directors.
Her recordings have also attracted attention, for example an album of rarely heard coloratura arias to mark the bicentenary of Jacques Offenbach's birth.
