Henri Pauliat

Musical Theatre Artist

A legal professional by training, Henri Pauliat simultaneously took singing lessons at the Limoges Conservatory, where he was unanimously awarded the prize for lyrical art in 2013.

Since 2011, he has been a member of the Limoges Opera company, performing roles such as Milord in “Fra Diavolo” (2013), the Shoemaker and the Notary in “L’Affaire Tailleferre” (2014), Toinet in “Un de la Canebière” (2015), and Ferdinand in “Quatre jours à Paris” (2016). He also played Borsa in the “Rigoletto” production by the "Figaro Si, Figaro Là" troupe in 2013.

In addition to the classical repertoire, he is passionate about musical theatre and, in 2014, co-founded "Quartet," a vocal group featuring jazz, gospel, and barbershop styles.

His repertoire quickly came to include the following roles:
